ISLAMABAD, July 24 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. official has said in Pakistan that in his report to the U.S. government he would not only suggest the continuous and uninterrupted financial assistance to Pakistan but would also recommend sufficient increase in it, the official Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
After visiting the Jalozai camp of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Peshawar of North West Frontier Province (NWFP),the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration Eric Schwartz said that his government wants an early dignified and honorable return of the dislocated people to their native homes.
"Extremism and terrorism are threat to the whole world," Schwartz was quoted as saying, adding the U.S. government along with other countries of the world should cooperate with Pakistan in this critical hour.
Schwartz said that he was satisfied with the arrangements made for the IDPs in the camps.
"The facilities are really impressive and disciplined made for such large scale internal displacement in the shortest possible time for which the Government of Pakistan fully deserved appreciation," he remarked.
The process adopted for the return of IDPs is also very effective, safe and coordinated, he maintained. He said that he personally visited the tented camps and enquired after the problems of the inmates.
The IDPs, he said, who had come here from mountainous areas like Swat are passing through extreme hot, which is unexplainable.
"No one leaves his home with joy but it was the extremism and terrorism that forced them to do so for their better future," he said.
According to the APP report, the U.S. official said that government and the law enforcing agencies should now maintain the good results achieved by them after a successful operation in Malakand Division.
On Friday, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that 850,000 IDPs by offensives against the Taliban in the country's conflict-torn northwest have gone back to their homes so far.
