Pakistani Leader Criticizes Military Over Afghanistan Strikes
A Pakistani leader named Maulana Fazlur Rehman gave a speech in Karachi.
He criticized his country's military for attacking Afghanistan, saying it's unfair because Pakistan also gets upset when India attacks groups in Pakistan.
He mentioned a past event called Operation Sindoor, where India attacked terrorist camps in Pakistan.
Rehman has been trying to help improve relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
India also recently said they don't like Pakistan attacking Afghanistan because it hurts innocent people.
The two countries have been arguing since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021, with Pakistan saying Afghanistan is hiding terrorists, which Afghanistan denies.
Pakistani lawmaker Maulana Fazlur Rehman criticized the military for strikes in Afghanistan that caused civilian casualties.
He compared Pakistan's actions to India's 'Operation Sindoor', questioning the consistency of Pakistan's stance.
Rehman made these remarks during a conference in Karachi's Lyari, a location known for its underworld depicted in a recent Bollywood film.
India condemned Pakistan's recent strikes on Afghanistan, emphasizing support for Afghan sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have escalated since the Taliban's 2021 takeover, with Pakistan accusing Afghanistan of harboring terrorists.
