| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan government officials have asked the Pak officials to act against the Taliban group The demand by the Afghan government was reportedly made during meeting with the Pak officials on the sideline of the Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan (RECCA) on Saturday. Pakistain's National Security and Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz ...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in goodjihadis and badjihadis as a matter of national policy... visited 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 Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... on Saturday to attend the conference and meet with the Afghan officials as the relations between the two nations hit all-time low following a series of deadly attacks in capital Kabul. The Afghan government officials blamed Taliban group and Haqqani terrorist network for being involved behind the deadly attacks which rocked capital Kabul earlier last month. Frustrated with the Taliban group and Haqqani network's operations from their safe havens in Pakistain, the Afghan government slammed Pak officials for their remarks regarding the elimination of Haqqani Terrorist Network following military operations in tribal regions of Pakistain. The Presidential Palace issued a statement last week after Pakistain's National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz claimed that the terrorist network is no more operational in Pakistain and that they have shifted to Afghanistan. The statement by the Presidential Palace stated "The Islamic Theocratic Republicof Afghanistan believes that one of the major differences between Afghanistan and Pakistain is regarding the presence of terrorist groups, specifically the Haqqani Network in Pak soil." "The recent remarks by Pakistain's National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz, suggesting that the Haqqani Network has been decomposed following military operations, are repeated claims by Pak officials during the past one decade," the statement said. The Palace insisted that documents and evidences shows that the network's leadership, commander and control, supportive infrastructure and sanctuaries are still operational in Pakistain. The statement further added that the government of Afghanistan has repeatedly handed over evidences regarding the Haqqani Network operations in Pakistain and has urged the Pak government to take action. |
