JI chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman has told Kabul that India can never be a well-wisher of Afghans and that Afghan territory must never be allowed to be used against Pakistan.
“I want to tell the Afghan government that India can never be your friend. In difficult times India will not stand with youit will celebrate,” Naeem said while addressing a rally in Peshawar on Sunday.
Afghan forces on Saturday night opened fire at multiple locations along the borderincluding Angoor Adda, Bajaur, Kurram, Dir and Chitral areas in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and Zhob district in Balochistan province.
The Pakistan Army responded swiftly and forcefully and its retaliatory action resulted in the death of 200 Taliban and Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) operatives. Twenty-three soldiers of the Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom during the clashes. The attack from the Afghan side came at a time when Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was on an official visit to India.
Referring to the confrontation, Naeem urged the need to immediately restore peace and mutual trust between the two countries. He also appealed to Afghanistan not to allow its soil to be used against Pakistan and urged a joint plan of action against terrorism.
