Pakistan to 'ascertain facts' on Afghan minister using its passport
2023-12-08
[GEO.TV] Pakistain said Thursday it will first ascertain facts before issuing a comment on a report that claims that Afghanistan’s acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani
...son of Pashtun warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, still titular head of the Haqqani Network....
possessed a Pak passport until recently.

In her weekly press briefing, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: "I have seen the report on the use of a Pak passport by the Afghan minister. The matter will be answered after [ascertaining] the facts."

A report published in The News today revealed that Haqqani was issued a Pak passport for five years which he used to travel abroad, particularly to Qatar

for negotiations with the United States for the signing of the Doha Agreement that resulted in the latter's exit from Afghanistan.

The publication, via the interior ministry officials, learnt that these passports were issued from different cities of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan

two passport officials involved in issuing Haqqani's passport have been arrested, one of whom had retired from service by the time the action was initiated against him.

The issue around the minister using the Pak passport comes at a time when Pakistain continues to repatriate illegal foreigners, most of whom are undocumented Afghan migrants colonists.

Baloch also briefed the presser about brass hats from the United States visiting Pakistain this week.

"The focus of these visits is not only Afghanistan. These visits are related to the multifaceted aspects of Pakistain-US relations," she said, adding that Pakistain has decided to talk to America.
