Pakistan Using Religious Extremism to Destabilise Afghanistan: Karzai
 [Tolo News] President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... said that the military and intelligence agency of Pakistain are adopting bad boy methods based on religion to destabilise Afghanistan. In an interview with Pak private TV channel Geo, President Karzai said, "I have no complaints against the people of Pakistain because they shared their home and food with Afghans during the 'Jehad' years but we seriously have issues with the military and intelligence agency of Pakistain because they are using bad boy methods based on religion to destabilize Afghanistan." "The use of extremism as a tool against Afghanistan will one day put Pakistain itself into trouble," Karzai's office said in a statement on Sunday. President Karzai said that the military apparatus of Pakistain and its intelligence agency has been always misusing the Afghan good-will to make the Afghan government work as their puppet and surrender to the evil will of that country (Pakistain). Afghanistan and Pakistain have had strained relations since the time Pakistain was formed in 1947, after the British colonial rule in India ended. On the Durand Line issue, President Karzai said that Pakistain is trying to make Afghanistan recognise the Line. "It is a clear fact that Pakistain is carrying out destructive activities to force Afghanistan recognise the Durand Line, but it will never succeed in achieving this evil goal," Karzai said in the statement. He said that the people of Afghanistan will never allow the government to make their country a place for implementing Pak strategies. "Despite all these differences the people of Afghanistan want friendly relations with Pakistain. A relation based on mutual respect, observing national illusory sovereignty of each other and safeguarding rights of the two nations, and not a relation of servant and boss," the statement said. Karzai said that in the history of Pakistain no government in Afghanistan had such relations with the country which the Afghan government has had during the last ten years, and it should be mentioned that the Afghan government was the initiator of those efforts." He said that Afghan government has strived hard by holding numerous meetings in Turkey, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor.
