Charsadda attack: Prompt action by forces averted big loss, says Khwaja Asif

Speaking on the floor of National Assembly, Asif said 20 people had been killed in the attack, while security forces shot dead four terrorists.

Once upon a time Pakistan would indulge in proxy wars, now we are making efforts for reconciliation in the region, said the minister.

He said Pakistan wished cordial relations with all neighbouring countries.
