Abdullah urges action against Taliban leadership during his meeting with Pak President
The Chief Executive of the Unity Government Abdullha Abdullha met with the President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain on the sidelines of a summit in Tajikistan and urged for resolute steps against the Taliban leadership based in Pakistan.
Abdullah informed regarding the ongoing counter-terrorism efforts by the Afghan government and security forces and said the fight against the terror groups is being waged without any distinction.
He said the Afghan government does not recognize good and bad terrorists and the Afghan forces continue to their relentless fight against all terror groups, including Pakistani Taliban.
Abdullah said the Afghan forces coordinated an operation against the Pakistani Taliban leader Mullah Fazlullah who was killed few days ago.
Pointing towards the recent travels of the Afghan and Pakistani officials, Abdullah said he is hopeful that practical and honest steps would be taken for regional peace and stability.
The Chief Executive of the Unity Government also urged for resolute and practical steps against the Taliban leadership based in Pakistan.
This comes as the U.S. Army general nominated to head U.S. military operations in Afghanistan has said that Pakistan, Russia, and Iran were continuing to support Taliban fighters.
In written remarks to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Lieutenant General Scott Miller, called the militant sanctuaries in Pakistan as one of the biggest challenges to Afghan stability.
Acknowledging that Pakistan has made many sacrifices and its security forces have fought bravely, Gen. Miller said “We have not yet seen these counterterrorism efforts against anti-Pakistan militants translate into definitive actions against Afghan Taliban or Haqqani leaders residing in Pakistan.”
Afghan and US officials have long been criticizing Pakistan for the lack of action against the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network leadership councils based in its soil.
