In the bible, one of the ten commandments is to honor your father and your mother. God gave us our fathers to guide and support us in our life. This is particularly true in some of Father’s Day Bible Verses pertaining to our Fathers:

My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,
because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.(Proverbs 3:11-12)

The father of a righteous man has great joy;
he who has a wise son delights in him (Proverbs 23:24)

Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old. (Proverbs 23:22)

Fathers, do not exasperate your children;
instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)

Speaking during a joint press conference with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, Obama pointed out that his administration was working both with the Pakistani and Afghan leadership to help them do away with some of their ‘bad habits’ and old suspicions.

While describing Pakistan’s obsession with India as one of its ‘bad habits’, he acknowledged that Islamabad is now slowly overcoming the practice.

“I think there has been in the past a view on the part of Pakistan that their primary rival, India, was their only concern,” The Dawn quoted Obama, as saying.

“What you’ve seen over the last several months is a growing recognition that they have a cancer in their midst; that the extremist organisations that have been allowed to congregate and use as a base the frontier areas to then go into Afghanistan, that now threatens Pakistan’s sovereignty,” he added.

Responding to a comment of an Afghan journalist that Pakistan was the “the only reason that Afghanistan was not civilised today”, the US President said Washington was determined to help improve relations between Islamabad and Kabul.

“Our goal is to break down some of the old suspicions and the old bad habits and continue to work with the Pakistani government to see their interest in a stable Afghanistan which is free from foreign meddling,” he said.

During the briefing, Karzai was asked about reconciliation with the Taliban, to which he replied that there are “thousands of Taliban who are not against Afghanistan or against the Afghan people or their country; who are not against America either or the rest of the world”.

Karzai said there are many Afghan Taliban who wanted to come back if provided an opportunity and political means to do so.

“It’s this group of the Taliban that you’re addressing in the peace Jirga. It is this group that is our intention,” he said.

Without mentioning Pakistan, the Afghan President said that the Taliban being controlled from ‘outside’ were increasing troubles for his country. (ANI)
