ISLAMABAD: Dr Moeed Yusuf, Adviser to Prime Minister on National Security said on Thursday that Afghan senior officials’ “idiotic statements” were damaging for bilateral relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In his tweets, Dr Moeed said it was unfortunate for Afghans that their senior officials — acting as spoilers — were trying to “vitiate bilateral relations” between Pakistan and Afghanistan through “vitriolic and delusional statements” to avert “attention from their own failures”.
“Afghanistan is being embarrassed daily due to these idiotic statements. Afghans should rest assured that everyone can see through the nefarious agenda of these spoilers.
“We will not let a handful of venomous minds affect Pakistan’s support to all Afghans for peace and stability,” said Yusuf.
National Security Adviser said Pakistan remained “committed” to facilitating an inclusive political settlement in Afghanistan.
Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan hit back at President Asharif Ghani’s claims about Pakistan’s “negative role” in the Afghan peace process, adding that it was “unfair” to blame the country for the situation in Afghanistan. PM Khan recounted more than 70,000 casualties in Pakistan mainly because of Pakistan’s efforts for peace in Afghanistan.
