KABUL - Pakistan Ambassador to Kabul Zahid Nasrullah Khan has responded to the question of support to Afghan Taliban.
He has denied Islamabad’s support to Taliban, said that his country is not supporting the group.
Khan said putting blames on Pakistan is ignoring problems in Afghanistan.
Talking to TOLOnews, Khan said Taliban commute in the border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan and that it does not necessarily mean that Islamabad backs the group.
“We have already more than two million Afghan refugees living there (in Pakistan). So if somebody from there has shares of views or has sympathy with Taliban, you cannot say, that you know, Pakistan is supporting him.
Also, as you know that we have a 2,611km of border and as know that more than 30,000 people crossing every day. So, we are not supporting them,” said the ambassador. “To blame Pakistan is to really take your eyes off the real problems within Afghanistan.”
