Yet, he asserted that a long-term resolution to the issues in Afghanistan can lessen the risks posed by terrorists.
“یہ افسوس کی بات ہے کہ اتنی قربانیوں اور جدوجہد کے باوجود کچھ غلط پالیسیوں کی بدولت ہمیں ایک بار پھر دہشتگردی کا سامنا کرنا پڑ رہا ہے لیکن ہم نے پہلے بھی ٹی ٹی پی کو شکست دی تھی اور ایک بار پھر ہم انہیں شکست دیں گے۔”
