Afghans are thankless brethren.....they have stabbed Pakistan in the back enough and will continue to do so. Pakistan saved them from drowning in their own blood..shed by the Soviets, took millions of them as refugees.......and allowed many of these refugees to flow into Pakistan to live permanently. For this, Pakistan has paid a heavy price....infusion of weapons and militancy into the national fabric. Now, they accuse Pakistan for all their problems. Learn from Israel......build a wall or mine the border.
@don: You are not from Pakistan i guess. There are many Indian trolls here.
This was the reason for unrest at LOC .
this is the way to go. We are Muslims brothers and sisters and we must unite. Our disunity will only benefit our enemies. Simply follow the command of ALLAH (SWT) and unite.
Unfaithful Afghans.
