MPs accuses Pakistan of destabilizing Afghanistan
A number of Parliament representatives accused Pakistan of making Afghanistan insecure; calling the international community to put pressures on Pakistan and impose economic sanction on the country.
Insecurity in the country, particularly the northern parts like Kundoz province is the main concern of the Parliament.
“We do not have any objection if the Pakistan compromise but otherwise we will use Taliban and Daesh group against them. The Parliament should send a letter to the United Nations to put pressure on Pakistan and impose economic sanction,” Nazir Ahmad Hanafi, representative of Herat said.
“Taliban have been wiped out from Kundoz province but now the Daesh group are activating. Urozgan province will also come under attack such as Kundoz,” Abaidullah Barikzai, Urozgan representative said.
Meanwhile, some of parliament members accused Paksitan’s Inter-Service Intelligence of Kidnapping people and threatening to kill them if they do not prepare money.
“Around 160 people have been abducted by the Pakistan’s ISI members in Nangarhar route, and demanded money from them to support terrorism. The National Unity Government should take serious measures regarding the issue,” Gul Pacha Majidi, Paktia representative said.
This comes as the war between Afghan security forces and the armed oppositions of the government is still ongoing in various parts of the country which Pakistani fighters have also been seen among the oppositions.
