Zabihullah Mujahid Rejects Claims of Afghans involvement in terror attacks in Pakistan

Pakistani officials are making baseless accusations against Afghanistan regarding the country’s security situation. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) said.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)_Monitoring, He said: “The Islamic Emirate does not allow anyone to use the territory of Afghanistan against any other country.”

This comes after Pakistan’s minister of state for foreign affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, was reported as saying on Thursday that Islamabad has evidence of the involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorism incidents in Pakistan and that this evidence has been handed over to the IEA.

“If there is any concern related to this, it should be shared with the Islamic Emirate face to face, instead of making useless claims in the media and confusing the public mind,” Mujahid said adding: “Because making such claims is not in the interest of both countries and nations.”

Khar meanwhile said earlier in the day that Islamabad is not willing to negotiate with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which is accused of being responsible for many attacks in the country. She said peace is talked about only when there is hope for peace.

Khar also stated that Afghans will not be allowed to cross into Pakistan without a visa and passport and that fencing along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border was critical.

She said biometrics were also being taken of all Afghans entering the country.

She said that Pakistan had held peace talks in the past with TTP but these had not provided any results.
