Foreign Minister schools Afghan president to focus on his own people

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had expressed concern over the alleged violence perpetrated against peaceful protestors and civil activists in KP and Balochistan.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 7th February, 2019) Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has rejected the tweet of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani over violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan.

Qureshi termed the statement as interference in the internal matters of Pakistan and schooled the Afghan president to focus on the issues of Afghan people.

“We reject the tweet by President Ashraf Ghani. Such irresponsible statements are only gross interference. Afghan leadership needs to focus on long-standing serious grievances of the Afghan people,” the foreign minister wrote.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had in a tweet early Thursday expressed concern over the alleged violence perpetrated against peaceful protestors and civil activists in KP and Balochistan.

“The Afghan government has serious concerns about the violence perpetrated against peaceful protestors and civil activists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan,” he wrote.

In another tweet, President Ghani said, “We believe it is the moral responsibility of every government to support civil activities that take a stand against the terrorism and extremism that plagues and threatens our region and collective security. Otherwise there could be long-standing negative consequences.”
