NWFP will not allow fencing of Pak-Afghan border: Siraj
2005-09-18
Comes as a surprise, huh? I know. It floored me, too. Who'da ever expected that?
NWFP Senior Minister Sirajul Haq on Saturday said that the NWFP government would not allow fencing of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan as proposed by President Pervez Musharraf to stop cross-border infiltration.
"Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna do it."
Addressing a gathering after a religious leader's funeral in Sarae Gambila, Siraj said that President Pervez Musharraf wanted to harm the brotherly relations between the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
... by trying to keep brotherly Pakistanis from subverting their Afghan brethren and bumping people off...
He accused President Musharraf of giving more importance to improving relations with India than Afghanistan, and added that the fencing of the Pakistan-Afghan border was an attempt to harm the centuries-old cordial relations between the two countries.

#1  That's an easy one for Perv. Just ask the Afghans if they have any objections to their being a fence. Even bring out the Afghan ambassador to say that the fence is a great idea, and will help make the border region safe and prosperous.

Of course, it's whistling in the wind. But it still helps to erode the foundation of the bad guy supporters.
