Militancy in Pakistan

Militancy in Pakistan:

Pakistan has been a home for attacks by militants and insurgents in 2023.

The situation is baffling as 1524 security men and common people lost their lives in attacks by militants and during attacks on militants. This number is alarming as this is 56 percent more than last year's attacks when 928 people lost their lives in such attacks.

Another perplexing situation is that about 82pc attacks and 92pc fatalities were reported in Afghanistan neighboring provinces Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

It gives ground to the Pakistan authorities' claims of accusing afghan refugees for a surge in such attacks and the decision of ousting a large number of afghan refugees right, in November just before the winter set-in.

This move by Pakistan also invited huge criticism from international bodies. Despite the backlash Pakistan received, the decision seems rightful.

Afghan Migrants settlement in Pakistan:

The Afghan refugees started settling in Pakistan during the Soviet war in Afghanistan in 1979. In 1980s, when some soviet backed people of Afghanistan tried to settle communist government, the country was saved from godless communism with the help of Mujahidin, trained by madrassas in Pakistan and backed by the help of US aid and the complete support of KSA.

The Afghan refugees were not only welcomed but also hosted well by Pakistan. This was done, by the then president of Pakistan General Zia ul Haq who, being a true follower of Islam and making the Pakistan a state of Madina and enchanting the slogan of brotherhood, initiated this move. Afghanistan is hostile to Pakistan from the day one as it is apparent by its opposition of Pakistan on joining UN, its stubbornness to not accept the agreement of Durand line, giving rise to a pashtunistan, which never got successful.

India-Afghan friendship:

With the day by day deteriorating relations with pakistan the brotherly ties are getting stronger. The relations of Afghanistan with India present the other picture for Pakistan.

India and Afghanistan have not only historical and cultural relation but, India has also been providing humanitarian and monetary aid to Afghanistan at the time of crisis.

It seems like Pakistan ,which has already been trying to be safe from eastern hostility, will have to be more wary of eastern-western neighbours' friendship.

Pakistan has also changed its stance towards neighbours and extended its friendly hand to far states. This is a good step in foreign policy of Pakistan.
