Requesting the international community to provide assistance to the Afghan government, the premier reiterated that the war-torn country was mostly dependent on foreign aid and if developed countries will not help the Afghan people, a humanitarian crisis would emerge in near future.

Khan further mentioned that the US is confused as of now after the Taliban abrupt takeover. He added that “It is painful to see they are scapegoating to divert attention”.

PM for another time said there is no military solution to the Afghan issue as Afghan people did not accept foreigners and under their traditions, they sought revenge if someone was killed at their homes.
