Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday said peace in Afghanistan will give Pakistan an access to the Central Asian Republics (CARs).

The Prime Minister expressed these views while talking to a delegation of Pak-Afghan Youth Forum in Islamabad today.
Answering questions, the premier said that all the future economic policies of Pakistan depended on peace in Afghanistan.
“The people of Pakistan considered the people of Afghanistan as their brothers,” he added.
Imran Khan further added that Pakistan will neither hold any talks with India nor will accept Indian participation in Afghan peace process till the August 5, 2019 action was reversed and status of the Occupied Kashmir was restored under which Kashmiris had the right of self-determination as per UN Resolutions.
“Recent statements from Afghan leaders blaming Pakistan for Afghan crisis is unfortunate because it was Pakistan which strived hard to convince Taliban first for talks with United States and then with Afghan government,” the premier stressed.
Khan further added that unfortunately there was a misconception in Afghanistan, which was based on Indian propaganda, that Pakistan was controlled by military institutions.
“Pakistan has always desired for peace with India,” said Khan adding that, it was India which did not want peace because it was at present under the influence of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideology.
RSS is the organisation which promotes the ideals of upholding Indian culture and the values of a civil society and spreads the ideology of Hindutva, to strengthen the Hindu community.
