ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Afghanistan are developing a repatriation plan for an early and complete return of Afghan refugees, Foreign Office spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal announced in a weekly press briefing on Wednesday.
An Afghan delegation will soon be visiting Islamabad for consultations on the plan, he said.
He dismissed rumors of Pakistan’s involvement in the recent Taliban attack on the city of Ghazni in eastern Afghanistan as “baseless,” adding that there is no evidence to back spurious accusations leveled from some Afghan officials that elements from Pakistan were also involved in the recent Ghazni onslaught. Government forces regained control of the city after five days of intense battles with Taliban militants.
Dr. Faisal said Pakistan has always supported an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process and will welcome any cease-fire agreement between stakeholders there.
Responding to another question, Dr. Faisal said India is involved in fanning terrorism in different parts of Pakistan. He said that the arrest of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav is a significant evidence of this.
He strongly condemned the human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir, urging New Delhi to allow the UN commission of inquiry to visit the valley and asses conditions on ground.
He said the cease-fire violations from Indian side along the Line of Control (LoC) are aimed to divert world’s attention from atrocities in Kashmir.
Pakistan is ready to host the next SAARC summit at the earliest opportunity o find a way forward, the official added.
Dr. Faisal further reiterated Pakistan’s support for the government and people of Turkey. He said Pakistan is opposed to the imposition of any unilateral sanctions on any country.
