Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has said that Pakistan has witnessed 60 percent increase in terrorism incidents since the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan. The recent surge in militant attacks aimed at Pakistan’s security forces is a deeply concerning development, underscoring the persistent threat of terrorism in the region.
The caretaker PM openly spoke about the involvement of the terrorists coming from Afghanistan to create a law and order situation in Pakistan. Kakar also regretted the statements being given by the Afghan ministers. Pakistan hosted the illegal Afghans for over 40 decades but now when the situation in Afghanistan is stable and were asked to return to their homeland, an issue is being created.
It is essential to remember that Pakistan cannot sustain such a large population of undocumented foreigners, necessitating measures for proper registration. However, the West, which withdrew from Afghanistan, must share responsibility for the resulting fallout. This assistance should include financial and technical support to manage this complex situation.
The migrants are not to be wished away; they have become an integral part of the region’s socio-political fabric. A compassionate and sustainable solution must be sought for their predicament, ensuring that they are not abandoned hastily. This is a shared responsibility, and the international community, including the UNHCR, should play a more active role in assisting Pakistan in this endeavour.
The sacrifices made by Pakistan’s security forces in the fight against terrorism highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive strategy to counter this menace. Regional cooperation and intelligence sharing can play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges effectively. It is crucial to ensure the peace and security of our nation while treating those who have sought refuge on our soil with fairness and dignity.
