Javed Iqbal said that it was important to give time to the Taliban for rebuilding Afghanistan and it would be premature to draw any conclusions. Iftikhar Ahmad took up the statement of Taliban leader Mullah Nooruddin Turabi about reintroducing enforcement of stern punishments.

Salim Bokhari said: "How is it possible that you are suffering from economic hardship and waiting for the help of the world. "You also lack the ability to take advantage of the resources you have but you also threaten the world that they don't interfere in law enforcement, even if it's a human rights violation."

India has come under fire over terrorism in Assam under Modi rule. Salim Bokhari said the scope of atrocities of Indian police reached from Kashmir to Assam because the world turned a blind eye.
