Pakistan asks Afghanistan to stop blame game and plug it's side of border

ISLAMABAD - In a statement, Pakistan foreign affairs ministry said Pakistan`s security forces were countering militant groups based in Afghanistan that launch attacks across the border.
Military officials of the two countries met on Thursday in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi, where Pakistan shared details of the operations with Afghanistan, it added. The operations took place on the Pakistani side of the border, Pakistan said.
Afghanistan should focus on plugging gaps on its side of the border and refrain from the "blame game", the ministry said.
Afghanistan`s Western-backed government has accused Pakistan of harbouring Afghan Taliban insurgents, a charge that Islamabad denies.
Islamabad, in turn, accuses Afghanistan of not doing enough to eradicate Pakistani Taliban militants, many of whom are based in Afghanistan and mostly carry out attacks inside Pakistan.
