KABUL: Afghanistan ex. President Hamid Karzai once again spit venom against Pakistan while appreciated India for all out help to people of Afghanistan.
The former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said Afghanistan has never accepted Durand Line as border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and will never accept it in the future.
In an interview with BBC Urdu, Karzai termed the formation of Durand Line a ‘result of British imperialism’ in the region.
He said Afghanistan has never accepted this border since 1893, nor will they ever accept it in future.
“When Pakistan came into being in 1947, they received it this way, so we are not blaming them but Durand Line is a blow which no Afghan can ever forget. We do not accept this border but will not fight over this issue,” Karzai added.
In other parts of the interview, Karzai said Pakistan does not want good relations between India and Afghanistan and wants “no bilateral trade and no access to Central Asia for India” which is unacceptable for Afghanistan.
Hamid Karzai love lost for India is no longer a secret and it has been also speculated in Pakistan that Hamid Karzai is behind the Afghan Army and NDS recent unprovoked firing at the Torkham Border.
