The Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, in response to the remarks of the caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan, said that Islamabad should not blame its failure to provide security on others.
Mujahid said: “We must say that just as the Islamic Emirate wants peace and stability in Afghanistan, it also wants peace in Pakistan.”
“As the security of Afghanistan is important to us, we want that Pakistan be secure too. We are not in favor of war in Pakistan. Secondly, the issue that there is insecurity in Pakistan, they [Pakistan] should ensure its security, and they should not blame Afghanistan for it,” Mujahid noted.
Earlier, Pakistan’s interim prime minister called the Islamic Emirate’s remarks about the deportation of refugees from the country “threatening.”
Anwaar ul Haq Kakar said that Kabul and Islamabad must work to expand their relations.
According to the spokesman, the weapons of the American forces are in safe places and will not pose any threat to the neighboring countries.
“Weapons are safe in Afghanistan, they are not stolen, arms smuggling is prohibited and all illegal activities are prevented,” Mujahid said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the acting Minister of Interior, Sirajuddin Haqqani, during his visit to Torkham crossing, said that Pakistan should have been a good host for Afghan immigrants as in the past four decades.
“Due to the problems, our immigrants went to the Muslim and brotherly country and they gave a lot of respect to Afghans at that time, good and bad times passed,” Haqqani noted.
Some analysts have different views regarding the future relations between Kabul and Islamabad.
“There are different parties in Pakistan that do not agree with the government of Pakistan and the law of Pakistan, they oppose their government,” said Sayed Ishaq Gailani, the leader of the Afghan People’s Solidarity Movement.
“Afghan immigrants have been there for 44 years, since the year 1979, and it has been 10-15 years since instability rose and continues there [Pakistan], and they want to hide their failure,” said Mohammad Ajmal Zurmati, a political analyst.
Pakistan announced in early October that it would expel an estimated 1.7 million undocumented immigrants including Afghan immigrants who remained in the country after November 1.
Pakistan on November 1 began rounding up undocumented foreigners, the vast majority of them Afghans, and so far nearly fifty-five thousand Afghan immigrants have entered Afghanistan through Torkham crossing.
