KABUL – Pakistan Ambassador to Kabul Zahid Nasrullah Khan has responded tothe question of support to Afghan Taliban.

He has denied Islamabad’s support to Taliban, said that his country is notsupporting the group.

Khan said putting blames on Pakistan is ignoring problems in Afghanistan.

Talking to TOLOnews, Khan said Taliban commute in the border areas betweenAfghanistan and Pakistan and that it does not necessarily mean thatIslamabad backs the group.

“We have already more than two million Afghan refugees living there (inPakistan). So if somebody from there has shares of views or has sympathywith 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 morethan 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 thereal problems within Afghanistan.”
