Hope he has valid visa and current passport with a valid name. If he has a valid visa than he is our guest and our brother.

Hence proved that checkpoints are the main obstacles for terrorists while Manzoor Pashteen and his team PTM were against these checkpoints. They were protesting to curtailed or remove it.
