ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani official has asked the Afghan government not to provide shelter for the North Waziristan people fleeing their homes due to the ongoing violence, media reported Tuesday.
"This is inappropriate. The Afghan government should not offer refuge and incentives to the dislocated people on its territory," Dawn online quoted Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Governor Sardar Mahtab Ahmad Khan as saying Monday.
Khan also said that the Afghan government was also offering financial incentives to the fleeing tribesman but its repercussions would be very severe for the entire region as Pakistan did not want to interfere in Afghanistan's domestic affairs.
Security forces has sealed checkposts in Ghulam Khan area and other frequented routes along the Afghan border to stop foreign militants from entering Afghanistan from North Waziristan, Khan said.
The Afghan government confirmed that over 6,000 people of North Waziristan have entered Afghanistan's Khost province and has been provided with relief assistance.
The Taliban shura has asked the tribesman to move to areas close to the Afghanistan border instead of proceeding to relief camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

When they go into Afghanistan, they are prevented from being indoctrinated by the pak military, notice the Taliban shura told the tribesmen to move towards Afghanistan.

Punjabis are scared of pashtun arm movement.
The afghan govt is helping them for food,shelter etc not arms.
Punjabi govt first forced them out of their area and now want these poor pashtuns to die of hunger.
I wish and hope the indains and afghan govt set up some camps accross the border to train waziris against the racist govt of punjab.
Any attempt to destroy punjabi interest should be fully supported.
