PESHAWAR: State Minister for Interior Shehryar Khan Afridi on Monday said Pakistan has rendered matchless sacrifices in war against terror, Radio Pakistan reported.

Addressing the Passing out Parade of Frontier Corps in Peshawar, the minister said nation has always emerged as victorious in every tough time.

Afridi said the enemies of Pakistan will fail in their heinous designs in dividing us.

“Pakistan wants friendly and peaceful relations with all its neighbours and opening Kartarpur border is a step towards this aim,” he maintained.
