Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, on Tuesday warned against the use of Afghan territory by Indian-backed proxy forces to carry out terrorist activities against Pakistan and emphasized the urgent need for deeper cooperation with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Addressing a grand jirga of tribal elders from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s firm commitment to eliminating what he described as the “fitna of the Khawarij and the terror networks supported by India.”
“The courage, resilience, and unshakable spirit of the Pashtun people are a proud chapter in our national history,” Sharif said, urging tribal leaders to remain united in exposing and combating extremist ideologies.
He pledged that peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would be preserved “at any cost” and called on the province’s youth to play a constructive role in promoting national unity, development, and stability.
