“Despite the fact that we have four foreign agencies working against us and are facing both internal and external threats, we have managed to come a long way”, said Asif Ghafoor, “Show me a country which was facing such threats in 2008 and 2009 and is still not only is surviving but also thriving. There are no such countries because all countries who faced problems, similar to us, either collapsed or had to have foreign armies take control.”
