Pakistan releases Rs.1.5 billion in grants for Afghan university students

[TNT]

I disagree with most here. Its not as if all the afghans here hate us. Infact most of them want to become Pakistani citizens. This is soft power and we need it.

our people are dying with hunger, and they are feeding the snakes ..

Exactly!!... Pakistani poor should be provided this opportunity 1st!!

Lol... Well then I have a bridge in Alaska to sell to you! Interested?

 

[Longhorn]

Good gesture. I completely support it.

We need more Afghan students in Pakistani universities and maybe some partnerships to create some in Afghanistan also.

We need to build them a library.

 

[Dalit]

Not this BS again. PTI has proved itself to be an Afghan appeaser. This will come at a very high cost.

If billions can be spent on kartarpur and building mandir then why not scholarships for afghans. U do love americans giving away scholarships even though they cant provide free healthcare. Its us who have to live here with our neighbor, soon they will have a Pakistani allied regime and we need to help with everything we can. Its for our own benefit.

What you fail to understand about this neighbor is that he lays claim over your land. Are you also going to give away land to appease Afghans? No amount of scholarships can buy Afghan loyalty. At the end of the day, Afghans never accept the Durand line and never respect Pakistani sovereignty. If you think that giving away scholarships to Afghans can change their mind on territorial dispute you are very mistaken.

They are not all idiots bro. They know very well majority of pashtuns of the area want to be with Pakistan. Their claim on durandline is useless, how many times they tried to capture it?? If there is a Pakistani allied regime in Afghanistan and we have good soft power, this paper issue will be solved too. Didnt we solve our border issues with china?

Afghans cannot be convinced with soft power. Some things cannot be changed through any effort. Afghanistan is such a classic example. Afghanistan's history of treachery towards Pakistan is well recorded. From the very beginning till this day.

Appreciable gesture by the Government.

Education trumps Hate

I am against government handouts in any form but this is 1000 times better than building a temple for five people in Islamabad.

1000 Afghans educated in Pakistan, sponsored by Pakistan will help us to strengthen relations with Afghanistan. You know Muslims should help each other and stop hating each other. That’s what we do.

And if an Afghan does something against the law please just go after the specific criminal and not the entire country or ethnicity. An Afghan with honor can never be Pro-Hindu and Anti-Pakistan, it’s like having a Buddhist pope. Not possible.

Exactly brothers! There are many great Afghan people who are well wishers of Pakistan as they know and understand that what's happens in Pakistan affects Afghanistan and vice verse is also true.

I think we have one Afghan brothers @H. Dawary was his account name. Not sure if he's still on this forum.

Well then u really are narrow minded. You have to look at regimes and not equate it with the country. Taliban are Pakistan supporters and once in power we ll have no issues. Remember when taliban were in power? Did we have any issues at that time? Even there was talk of solving durand line issue. If u keep sowing hatred, ull keep reaping it. Being same religion makes it easy to be allies. India and iran are already our enemies, we cannot afford to loose the influence and reach we have in Afghanistan.

This ain't soft power.

We don't need to bend over to hateful Afghans to reach our goals in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a hostile country. Our allies in Afghanistan are our only concern. Afghan people are generally speaking anti-Pakistan. It is a fact that most ordinary Afghans hold enmity and unfavorable views about Pakistan. Again, this comes down to territorial dispute.

Handing out scholarships won't change anything. What do you exactly mean with sowing hate? Don't accuse Pakistan of sowing hate when Afghans themselves are obsessed with hatred towards Pakistan. Afghans hold India dearer and you know this too. We have hosted millions of Afghans for decades. Yet Afghans continue to view our nation with suspicion.

It will always remain a pipe dream to have good relations with Afghanistan. It just won't happen for a multitude of reasons. Pakistan cannot continue to act like a good Samaritan and neglect its own people. Stop wasting precious money when your own people are needy. Your government cannot take care of its own people and here it is wasting money on scholarships for treacherous Afghans.

So according to u giving away a few scholarships is bending over? Lolzz this means the western countries are bending over to us because we hate them and they still give us scholarships?? That is one immature and kiddish assertion.
Since 30 years they have been in war, they have been invaded by USSR and then US. Their previous USSR puppet govt was anti Pakistan because we supported mujahideen. Their current govt is US and indian puppet, so naturally will be anti Pakistan and also coz we support taliban. Is that too complex for u to understand.
Also dont be a racist bigot by calling a whole nation as treacherous, generalization is wrong. U have no knowledge about the whole nation. I live in Peshawar and i know them better than u.
Hatred is sowed by ppl like u here, this hatred is then reciprocated. We have huge number of allies in Afghanistan, we support the bighest ethnic group in Afghanistan. Also get some knowledge, Afghanistan itself has many ethnic groups. If our allies in Afghanistan were not majority and strong, they wouldn't have been able to beat the US.
Current Afghanistan govt and india wants Pakistan to kickout refugees so they can increase this hatred and make the majority of afghans hate Pakistan. Pakistan knows this well and hence being soft with refugees. What ur suggesting is playing right into indian hands and doing exactly what they want u to do. Afghanistan is landlocked and will depend on us, better we have our influence on them. Studying in Pakistan means we have our educational and cultural influence. It also doznt cost us much.

Your government cannot take care of its own people and here it is wasting money on scholarships for treacherous Afghans

But the govt have enough money to build kartarpur for indians???? Enough money for mandir?? Its because of such narrow and racist thinking that movements like PTM spring up. Not to forget Pakistan have been fully involved in Afghanistan and we are a party to it. We can also be blamed for their destruction. If u get involved in wars and issues in a country, u should also then help rebuild it.
