He said that this ongoing war was being fought on the basis of intelligence and we have all the strongest in this regard, there was evidence as to who they were as their facilitators.
We have already said that our doors are open for negotiations, but nothing is accepted by the force of the gun. If there is any conflict, it can be resolved through negotiations, here, there is a gun on one side, then how is the problem political? Yes, of course, if there are problems of political people, we can sit down and talk, he said.

Rather, we have to think whether this 4g internet is beneficial for us or harmful, terrorist acts then they boldly make the clips viral on social media, he said.
