Following claims of Pakistani officials that Afghans are involved in terrorist attacks, the Islamic Emirate on Wednesday once again denied these allegations.
The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, said in a statement that Pakistan should manage its security situation carefully and find a solution for it in their own territory.
Mujahid added that Afghanistan does not want war in any country, especially in neighboring countries, and said that Afghanistan’s soil will not be used against other countries.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly rejects these allegations and insists that Afghanistan is a country that has come out of a long-lasting war and it does not want to threaten the security of any country, especially neighboring countries,” the statement said.
The statement reads: “During the year 1444, 18 Pakistani members of Daesh, who were carrying out explosions and attacks in our territory, were killed and dozens of them were captured alive in different areas of Afghanistan, all the documents and evidence are with us. It should be noted that, instead of blaming Pakistan, the government of Afghanistan has strengthened its security measures.”
Meanwhile, Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Pakistan’s minister of Human Rights, said in an interview with Pakistani media that those who are fighting in Pakistan do not come from Afghanistan.
“These are the individuals who were allowed to enter by our own people during the previous government under the streamlined process. I have faith in the Afghan leadership’s sincerity–their relationship with Iran, Saudi Arabia, China and Pakistan,” Pirzada said.
Analysts have various views about the claims of Pakistani officials.
“The unfair charge against the Afghan people in the recent attacks in Pakistan has once again proven (Pakistan’s) hostility against the Afghan people. However, the whole world is aware that Pakistan has been supporting and fostering terrorism for decades,” said Najib Rahman Shamal, a political analyst.
This comes as previously the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan claimed that three Afghan citizens were involved in the deadly attack on a military base.
