Pakistan should solve its internal problems on its own: Taliban
Pakistan must solve its domestic problems on its own and not blame Afghanistan for its failures, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement Wednesday, responding to Islamabad’s charges that militants attacks in Pakistan.
'The Islamic Emirate does not allow anyone to use the territory of Afghanistan against Pakistan. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is not responsible for maintaining peace in Pakistan,' Zabihullah Mujahid said.
'Since insecurity has increased in Pakistan after the victory of the Islamic Emirate, it does not mean that we are behind the insecurity in Pakistan. Weapons are safe in Afghanistan. They are not stolen. Arms smuggling is prohibited and all illegal activities are prevented,' the statement said.
Taliban spokesman said Afghanistan wants good relations with Pakistan and does not want to interfere in the affairs of other countries.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan’s interim Premier Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar accused the interim Afghan administration of providing support to the Tehreek-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan (TTP), which he claimed is using Afghan soil to plot cross-border attacks against Pakistan.
'During the last two years when the Afghan Taliban returned to power, terrorist attacks have increased by 60%' PM Kakar said.
