LAHORE : Governor Punjab Sardar Saleem Haider Khan, during a visit to Islamabad via train from Lahore, issued a stern warning to the Afghan government, stating it must now choose between Pakistan and terrorist elements operating from its soil. He highlighted that Afghanistan, with alleged support from India, has been involved in terrorism targeting Pakistan. The governor praised the ongoing Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, describing it as highly successful, and reaffirmed that the entire nation stands behind the Pakistan Army in its fight against militancy.

Recalling Pakistan’s decades-long hospitality toward Afghan refugees and support for initiatives such as training the Afghan cricket team, he said Islamabad’s desire for peace should not be mistaken for weakness.

Separately, the governor remarked on the historical significance of Lahore Railway Station and encouraged citizens to prefer train travel over buses, citing safety, comfort, and environmental benefits.
