Qamar Zaman Kaira - PPP Secretary Information

The ongoing military operation in NWA is on the right track while the army is in the process of achieving its target. It is always difficult for the military and the government to start an operation in its territory.

The government should restore and maintain its writ in conflict areas after the operation. It’s important for the government to defeat the mindset which creates such militants across Pakistan. It will be difficult for the government to work for the rehabilitation of the IDPs after the operation.
