Disgruntled Afghan leadership again summons Pakistan envoy in reaction to sincere advice from PM Khan

ISLAMABAD - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Pakistani Embassy’s Counselor in Kabul a day after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan repeated his controversial remarks on an interim setup in Afghanistan which he believes will break the so-called stalemate in the peace process.
The Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Sibghatullah Ahmadi said they once again expressed their objection on Khan’s remarks.
He said that Afghanistan decided to send its ambassador back to Islamabad after he was summoned to come to Kabul following the first-time remarks of Khan in late March.
But Ahmadi said the remarks were repeated and that “the Afghan government considers recent Imran Khan’s statement a clear interference in internal affairs of Afghanistan and deems the remarks a return to Khan’s previous stance and demands explanation by the government of Pakistan”.
Addressing a rally in Jamrud, a town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Friday, Khan said that he had given a “brotherly advice” to Afghanistan but he was slammed for his statement, the National Courier said in a report.
