LANDI KOTAL (Dunya News) – The recent criticism of United States of America’s President Donald Trump, alleging Pakistan of harboring terrorists, have sparked protests in tribal areas.
According to details, a rally from Jamrud has reached Landi Kotal to record their stance near Afghan border that they will continue to support with Pakistan Army at any cost.
The participants including Sikhs clarified that they don’t accept Trump’s statement and that they will fight for their country.
On August 22, President Donald Trump warned Pakistan that Washington will no longer tolerate Pakistan offering "safe havens" to extremists.
"We can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations," Trump declared, outlining a new US security strategy in South Asia.
"Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists." Going further, Trump suggested that military and other aid to Washington s nuclear-armed ally is at stake if it does not clamp down on extremism.
"We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars at the same time they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting," he said.
"That will have to change and that will change immediately," he said. "It is time for Pakistan to dedicate to civilization and order and peace."
