Right on this is great.
Pray tell me how is China supporting the operation, is it providing ammunition or any other weapons or is it providing money , or assisting IDP's ?
I'm sure Shahbaz Sharif will take this wonderful opportunity to condemn China for curbing Ramadan fast in the problematic province... He he ...LOL
@oldboy Did you believe pakistan has the funds to support this huge operation , this operation is entirely supported by China and Western Nations.
china support zarb e azb operation and Pakistan supports operation Xinjhiang :P
Pakistan is run by one PM and one CM both internally and externally. This called Pakistani democracy!
@Raghu Don't be jealous. why don't you read your third class newspaper times of india which it nothing but utter nonsense. Huh
@anshul yes this should be a problem for india because this will definitely create big hurdles for your country in getting footage in Baluchistan and afghanistan. time for you to get out.
Such a beautiful newsitem it is. yes the economic interest prevails over all other interests. I think now we will find peace hopefully.

@S. A. M.
Hmm.. Don't know what to say about this piece of news, however, I absolutely agree that Times of India is full of nonsense :".
Unfortunately, Pakistan army is doing operation in North Waziristan because China wants this operation. Pakistan army is not doing this operation because people of Pakistan were suffering so much because of terrorism. If suffering of the people of Pakistan was the reason for this operation, then why they waited so long for this operation?
