This is with regard to the killing of 27 people including at least 11 soldiers in an attack by Nato and coalition forces in Mohmand Agency on June 11. Our ill-equipped and under restraint forces at the border with Afghanistan are vulnerable to such attacks and it is time that apart from issuing routine statements, the government come up with a concrete plan to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Why are our troops not equipped in the appropriate weapon system to suitably respond to unprovoked hostile actions from across the border? The army and the PAF are responsible for defending our borders and airspace and one wonders as to what they are doing when such attacks are carried out by foreign forces on Pakistani territory.
