Taliban government of Afghanistan asks Pakistan to avoid ‘provocative statements’

| @indiablooms | Jan 07, 2023, at 12:01 am

Kabul: Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has asked Pakistan government to refrain from issuing “provocative and baseless” statements.

He said his government desires to establish   “good relations” with Pakistan and all neighbouring countries.

The statement comes after the National Security Com­mittee (NSC) on Monday categorically asked the Afghan Taliban regime, without directly naming them, to deny safe haven to Pakistani terrorist groups on its soil and end their patronage, while reiterating its intent to crush terrorist groups operating inside the country with full force, reports Dawn News.

“The Islamic Emirate is trying its best to ensure that Afghanistan’s territory is not used against Pakistan or any other country,”  Mujahid was quoted as saying by Dawn News , adding that Kabul was serious about achieving this objective.

The Taliban spokesperson added that the Pakistani side was also responsible for taking steps to control the situation and to avoid issuing “baseless and provocative” statements.

“The Islamic Emirate attaches importance to peace and stability in Afghanistan. Similarly, we want peace and stability in the whole region and will continue efforts for this objective,” the Taliban spokesman said.

The Taliban took control over Afghanistan in 2021.
