MoD Dismiss Pakistan Claims That Afghan Elements Support Insurgents
2016-01-27
[Tolo News] Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
's claim last week that certain circles in Afghanistan are helping holy warriors infiltrate Pak territory to conduct attacks was on Monday rejected by the Afghan Ministry of Defense.
There's no real difference between the Pak and Afghan Taliban. They both pledge allegiance to Mullah Omar (or now to his successor, I guess.) Pakistain doesn't care when the little beturbanned darlings stage attacks in Afghanistan; their only bitch comes when the Frankenturbans kill a few dozen Paks, and even then they don't get too hot if the deaders are Shias or Hindoos or Christians. The concept that attacks in Pakistain are planned and staffed in Afghanistan is apparently too deep for them to grasp, even though they get the concept of planning and staffing attacks in India from Pak soil, even though they increasingly less plausibly deny it.
Afghanistan's Ministry of Defense (MoD) on Monday rejected the allegations by Pakistain that certain elements in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
support holy warriors to operate in Pak soil, terming the claims groundless.

"This is quite laughable," Dawlat Waziri, a defense ministry front man said on Monday referring to Pak PM's allegations.

"Taliban and al-Qaeda operate in Pakistain. Osama and Mullah Omar
... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality...
were found in Pakistain. The Quetta Council, Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
Council, Haqqani Council and Meeran Shah Council exist there in Pakistain. How can Pakistain dare to say that certain groups in Afghanistan are involved in instability in Pakistain?"

This comes at a time that Pakistain has long been criticized by the Afghan government and other countries for its deliberate support of turban groups - with long standing claims that they allow them to operate against Afghanistan from Pak territory.

"Pakistain gets rewards of the seeds it grew to destabilize Afghanistan, there is no bully boy hideouts in Afghanistan," military analyst Hai Gul Sulaimankhail said.

"Nawaz Sharif and ex-Pak officials play a key role in trying to disintegrate the Afghan national army and pose serious threats to Afghanistan's national illusory sovereignty and continuation of war in Afghanistan. Pakistain by making such allegations want to confuse the world's perception," MP Mohammad Abdoh said.
