He asked if millions of Pakistanis can have dual nationalities in several countries of the world, why Pakistani Pushtoons can not have an Afghani nationality.

He said any worker who is not planning to be active in politics should get themselves an Aghani passport.

Mr Achakzai claimed that a democratic Pakistan and a democratic Afghanistan can be good neighbours. Criticizing the border fencing he said Pushtoons cannot be divided by using fences.

He further said that accountability should be across the board. Any judge or general shouldn’t be above the law. The constitution is not just a piece of paper and should be applied to everyone.
