FO conveys concern to Afghanistan over ‘baseless allegations'
Islamabad: Pakistan has conveyed its serious concerns to the Afghan side by making a strong demarche with the Ambassador of Afghanistan in Islamabad on the recent irresponsible statements and baseless allegations made by the Afghan leadership.
In a statement, FO spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said Pakistan has emphasized that groundless accusations ‘erode trust and vitiate the environment between the two brotherly countries and disregard constructive role being played by Pakistan in facilitating the Afghan peace process;.
The Afghan side has been urged to effectively utilize the available forums like Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS) to address all bilateral issues, the statement added.
The statement by Foreign Office has come days after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in an interview alleged that Pakistan operated an organized system of support for the Taliban adding that they "receive logistics there, their finances are there and recruitment is there".
Responding to aquestion related to Afghan peace process he said that the question of peace or hostility is now in Pakistani hands.
“Peace and stability will primarily be decided upon regionally, and I believe we are at a crucial moment of rethinking. It is first and foremost a matter of getting Pakistan on board. The US now plays only a minor role,” he said.
