Balochistan caretaker Minister for Information Jan Achakzai said that if there was no let up in militant activity from Afghanistan, Pakistan would \u201cgo into terrorist hideouts and teach them a lesson\u201d.<\/p>\n
Addressing a press conference in Quetta, Achakzai said that Pakistan had been hosting Afghan refugees for the last 40 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut in return, instead of discouraging terrorism and terror, it is concerning that they are being given militant hideouts and advanced weaponry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The minister said that Pakistan had placed its demands in front of the Afghan Taliban and had repeatedly made it clear that it was against all kinds of militancy.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, the crime of terrorists and their facilitators is equal,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know how to give a befitting response to terrorism. If, despite repeated advice, this situation does not stop, we will go into terrorist hideouts and teach them a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further said: \u201cIt is a fact of life that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been provided arms [and] low-level Afghan commanders are with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
