Closure of Pak-Afghan border building into humanitarian crisis: Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, in a Saturday meeting with Afghan Ambassador Omar Zakhilwal, expressed his sympathies for the people stuck on either side of the recently closed border, DawnNews reported.

In a tweet following the meeting, Khan said: "Closure of Pak-Afghan border is building into a humanitarian crisis. The two governments need to cooperate effectively on cross-border terrorism."


Both leaders also exchanged views on Pak-Afghan relations and were in agreement that negotiations between the two countries should resume at the earliest.

The Afghan ambassador highlighted the challenges faced by the Afghan people stuck on the Pakistani side of the border, to which the PTI chief said that urgent steps must be taken to help the stranded.

The PTI chief also emphasised that talks between the two countries must be expedited so as to allow cross-border movement of trucks carrying import and export goods.

In another tweet, Khan reiterated that "those with valid travel documents and perishable goods should be allowed to cross border to mitigate the suffering of ordinary people on both sides."


The hour-long-meeting was held at Khan's residence in Bani Gala, Islamabad.

The closure of the border crossings was ordered by Army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa on Feb 16, hours after militants struck Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's shrine in Sehwan, killing 90.

All traffic between the two countries has remained suspended since then, creating logistical difficulties for landlocked Afghanistan, which conducts most of its external trade through Pakistan.

A large number of Afghan nationals have also been stranded in Pakistan by the decision.

Pakistan has frequently used border closure to express its annoyance with Afghanistan on different issues.

This time, the military closed the crossings to pressurise Kabul to take action against terror outfits that it accuses of taking up sanctuary on Afghan soil and directing attacks from there.

"those with valid travel documents and perishable goods should be allowed to cross border to mitigate the suffering of ordinary people on both sides."

I would agree with this and you would also feel sorry for the innocent Afghan living on both the sides of the border, especially those affected by this. In the longer run we need to think about our survival, borders should remain closed as long as Afghans facilitate and harbor terrorists.

To be honest its all the Afghan government's fault, they have brought this situation upon themselves, after years of relentless terrorism that has been orchestrated from Afghanistan, too much blood has been lost in Pakistan. Unfortunately the border will need to remain closed until Afghanistan takes concrete action against terrorists.

 

[mingle]

He said ppl with legal Dacuments plus perishable item should allowed which r quite legit thing to say .

 

[Flash_Ninja]

The army should set up camps for people stranded in Pakistan, and the government should work on trying to compensate or help out traders affected by the closure.

 

[tarrar]

Only Afghanistan is to blamed for all the mess & for their non stop terrorist support.

No disagreement in this. As far as refugees are concerned, contrary to the hype created by many that too for a reason to support illegals, trust me as none of legal are discriminated internally.

Now coming to the border, it was necessary especially after last wave of attacks and the many culprits use to visit freely so now after Ra'ad-ul_Fasad, internal cleaning will be done first and already many are apprehended. The stated humanitarian crises are nothing in front of all those lost lives in Terrorists attacks so, until & unless the needful IA not done, border needs to remain close.

Afghanistan Government has been busy to blame PAKISTAN for everything yet being remained concerned only inside Kabul while harbouring Terrorists against PAKISTAN. Also, the closure is must till Afghanistan Government is done with her matters instead of continuously blaming PAKISTAN. It is all about previous lives inside PAKISTAN as well that are at risk until Afghanistan Government doesn't act as necessary and deserve to be trusted.

border needs to remain closed for two reasons

1- terrorist cannot walk in
2- terrorists cannot walk out....

given mop up ops under way.... a lot of terrorist and their abettors would feel obliged to slip away into Afghanistan, especially those ones with legal documents.... so yes... border needs to stay closed...

any one requiring humanitarian help... should be helped.....

afghan govt is also saying they will send chartered planes to evacuate the stranded... which is fine by me... no issues

Only War to Stop is , educated Youth and Citizens about that is Real Islam not this radical Thing

I would agree with this and you would also feel sorry for the innocent Afghan living on both the sides of the border, especially those affected by this. In the longer run we need to think about our survival, borders should remain closed as long as Afghans facilitate and harbor terrorists.

Imran Khan has smaller brain than average people like us, who obviously failed to foresee such basic risks.
Please, excuse him.

Bro. You are talking about Pakistan Afghanistan border. Drug dealer's even manage to cross Mexico-US Border let alone Pak-afghan border.

This closure is only effecting trader's and civilian's. even those who have legal document's are not allowed to neither go that way nor this way.

The brother of My afghan friend is stranded on border. he told me some days ago that border guards are not allowing them to cross border while Police is not even allowing them to go back to Peshawar. so neither we can cross border nor can go back home and neither can we renew our documents. as Pakistan only issue them documents with a validity of no more then 3 months. in some cases only 1 month. also they have spend all their money in all these days while sleeping on roads in this cold.

You are a Human right ? so are they. you wan't to eliminate terrorism ? go inside Afghanistan if necessary. conduct covert operations in their. but at least spare the lives of innocent one's.

IK is Taliban ka kutta , na ghar ka na ghaat ka ..

While he may be a "taliban ka kutta, na ghar ka na ghaat ka" . but you do agree that at least those with Legal document's should be allowed to cross border right ?

they have anyway attached themselves to india's tits ,

Still shaping foreign policies and relations in context of Pak-India ? India ka dost matlb dafa karo ?

NOt good ! didn't worked in Past, not gonna work in future. change your way of Looking things buddy.

only for those who wants to go back and not return unless we OPEN the Border on our terms ..

Well. then for your information. Police is not allowing them to come back (for now). neither can they cross border, nor can they come back to Peshawar. what you thing are they fool's to sleep their on road's in these cold nights and spending all the remaining money they had ?

Their are reports that Police is not allowing them to come back. IDKW. BTW that's what i have heard from People their. but still i am available to be proved wrong. i would love that. any sort of Knowledge/information is welcomed.

IK is Taliban ka kutta , na ghar ka na ghaat ka ..

BTW their is a thing called POINT OF VIEW. which even our local democracy "allow" us to. You don't like someone's POV, you can disagree . simple ! no need to abuse people for their POV's. it shows your mentality and mental approach. nothing more.

Its ok, they should stay until we are sure that no Terrorist will cross back .. they have killed enough Pakistani's. they will go back when we want them too..I have no sympathy for Afghans who shelter terrorist, run their areas with Qabaily Jigra shit, they curse Pakistan , they burn Pakistan flag ..
let them suffer a bit at border ..

With this mentality bro. when next time an afghan blow himself in any of your city. i request you just don't abuse them then. because you are abusing them now. and that blow will be the reaction of "this abuse".

What are you ? Sindhi ? Baluchi ? Punjabi ? Hazarvi ? whatever you are . if you are not a Pathan. you can't say even a single harsh sentence to them on their face as it will have severe consequences. i as a Pathan many time talk rough to them while dealing in day-to-day life but they don't mind. Now try let a Punjabi brother say something harsh to them on their face and see the result. they are mental.

Whenever Pakistan government "talk" with them. who we send to talk them ? just for a single time, try sending a Pathan from your side. trust me it will work. we "Pakistani's" have created a communication gap with them. only this fact is the result of all these happenings.

and by calling "Jirga" shit you have abused My traditions too. Jirga is in my Culture. and you have no right to abuse my culture. what do you guys think when you speak huh ? leave what , do you even think ??
