Our brave soldiers will keep dying unless and until you close the borders with Afghanistan And learn to control the borders properly. Send the Afghan refugees back to their country and erect laser security walls on the borders with Afghanistan. Enough is Enough.

Kurram has been a trouble spot since many weeks.
We must enhance the local intelligence and take stern action across the border with Afghanistan to contain & counter the terrorists...

@The end is near We can't send Afghan Brothers back, they are more Pakistanis than Afghan as millions have been born and raised in Pakistan, Afghanistan is like foreign land to them, many are good people few are bad souls in it. 5 million plus live in Pakistan few can be bad sure but most are loyal good people.
R.I.P soldiers always and always.
