On Thursday, Khawaja Asif, the minister of defense, responded to Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who said that direct negotiations with Afghanistan are possible.
During the National Assembly Session, Asif voiced his opinions as follows: “Gandapur’s declaration to initiate direct talks with Afghanistan is equivalent to attacking the Federation. It was necessary to make this declaration.”
It is better to adhere to the customs established by NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq rather than Asad Qaiser. If Asad Qaiser had adhered to tradition, things would have been under control.
“The respect is self-made, and the outsider cannot do it,” he maintained.
Avoid crossing the red line.
