ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan warned on Wednesday that launching a military operation in North Waziristan without “doing any homework” will make the country more insecure.

Talking to the media in Islamabad, Chaudhry Nisar said that the public representatives are taken into confidence on such sensitive issues in democratic countries. He further alleged that the government wants to create a situation to postpone the elections.

The opposition leader maintained that no Pakistani was involved in the 9/11 attacks but the government has been fighting somebody else’s war since the last 11 years.

He added that his party Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) would not compromise on the dual nationality issue, however, seats should be reserved for Pakistani expatriates.

The opposition leader also condemned the attack on 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai who was shot by the Taliban for speaking against them.

Shahzad | 11 years ago | Reply @Enlightened: You can have a military operation conducted by Pakistan army in North Waziristan , where there is no doubt extremism and this twisted ideology lives, in fact you can have an operation in every Pakistani home, this will not remove this disease. What is required that our political and military leadership have to clearly state whether USA and Government of Afghanistan is friend or foe. We cannot take Taliban success in Afghanistan as our success and that in Pakistan as our loss. If there is clarity here an operation may not be required in North Waziristan. Also if you send in Army into villages or urban areas the human right violation and collateral damage is likely to be far more then use of drones. Also remember the Taliban on both sides of the Durrand line operate with more clarity then we have demonstrated so far as far as our foreign and security policy is concerned.

@Ijaz Mir: War is never an answer, eradicating a problem strategically is. Not fighting with ownself not knowing what you are getting into
