The Foreign Office (FO) earlier today rejected the Afghan government’s statements that accused Pakistan of involvement in cross-border terrorism.
Spokesperson Tasnim Aslam in her weekly briefing told reporters that Pakistan has expressed dismay over the string of allegations by Afghanistan’s National Security Council and Ministry of Foreign Affairs maligning Pakistan’s security institutions.
“Pakistan reiterates its categorical rejection of Afghan allegations of Pakistan’s involvement in terrorist attacks and cross-border shelling”, the FO spokesperson said in the capital.
“We also firmly reject any statements vilifying Pakistan’s commitment to fight terrorism,” she said.
A”It only benefits the enemies of peace and undermines the prospects of a cordial relationship between the brotherly people of Pakistan and Afghanistan”, she remarked.
She said the launch of military operation Zarb-i-Azb was the clearest reflection of Pakistan’s resolve to fight terrorism without any discrimination or distinction.
