Afghan President has accused Pakistan for its involvement in recent attacks in Afghanistan, while Pakistan has denied the accusations.
According to the details received by TBP news desk, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had earlier today asked Pakistan Army Cheif, Gen Bajwa to live up to his promise of eliminating cross-border support for Taliban.
The Afghan president added his voice to those alleging role of Pakistani citizens in the Taliban attack on Ghazni city last week.
Ashraf Ghani further added in his statement recorded by VOA on his visit to Ghazni, “Gen Bajwa, you signed a document with us and told me repeatedly in our conversations over the phone that when the elections (in Pakistan) are over you will pay attention to it. I need answers now, From where they came and why are they receiving treatment in your hospitals”.
Earlier this week, Afghan Defence Minister Tariq Shah Bahrami had said that the Ghazni attack — in which at least 1,000 fighters had stormed the city — had been carried out by Taliban with the support of external elements, including Pakistanis.
The Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan strongly rejected the reports that Taliban fighters involved in the Ghazni attack were offered medical treatment in Pakistani hospitals.
In a statement rejecting the accusations, the ISPR Pakistan said,“Afghanistan needs to look inward as the problem resides inside Afghanistan”.
A week earlier in an attack by Taliban on Capital city of Ghazni, resulted in more than 500 killings of Afghan troops and civilians.
