Sohail Afridi asking for proof of Afghan terrorism is major dishonesty’: Umar Cheema
Earlier, senior journalist Umar Cheema, while speaking on Geo News’ program “Report Card”, strongly criticised the statement of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi.
He said that Sohail Afridi’s demand for evidence of terrorism in Afghanistan is a great act of dishonesty against the interests of Pakistan.
He said that TTP is their armed wing, and mothers’ children are dying. And the Chief Minister is making such statements; he should be held accountable.
According to him, politics cannot stoop to this level. Such a serious issue is being politicised, and that too by the Chief Minister of the province, which is the most affected by terrorism.
