Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has put the record straight by telling Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan that his country was behind turmoil in Afghanistan. He said over 10,000 ‘jihadi fighters’ entered the country from Pakistan in the last month, while Islamabad had failed to convince the Taliban to participate “seriously” in the peace talks. He was addressing the Central and South Asia connectivity conference held in Tashkent.
“Contrary to repeated assurances by Prime Minister Khan and his Generals that Pakistan does not find a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in Pakistan’s interest and fell short of use of force and its power and influence to make the Taliban negotiate seriously, networks and organizations supporting the Taliban are openly celebrating the destruction of the assets and capabilities of the Afghan people and State,” Ghani said.
