Afghan Taliban rejects Islamabad's claim that India using its territory to attack Pakistan

Kabul, June 29 (UNI) The Afghan Taliban government in Kabul has rejected remarks made by Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir claiming that India is using Afghan territory to operate against Pakistan.Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, stressed that the caretaker government, based on its policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, does not allow anyone to use Afghan soil against any country, Tolo News reported.Fitrat said: "Currently, there is no threat to anyone, and such concerns suggesting that one party is being nurtured against another are baseless. The Islamic Emirate adheres to a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and does not permit the use of Afghan soil to create insecurity, especially against neighbouring countries.
“These concerns are therefore groundless. That said, we emphasise that relations with Pakistan are important to us and must be based on mutual interests. We seek good relations with both countries and observe a neutral, non-interventionist policy in foreign affairs."This statement follows remarks by Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, who claimed that Indian-backed groups are operating against Pakistan from Afghan territory.Speaking in Islamabad, Munir referred to Afghanistan as an Islamic and brotherly country and stated that Pakistan seeks peaceful relations with Afghanistan but expects Kabul to prevent the activities of Indian proxy elements.He said: "We ask only one thing: do not give space to India’s terrorist proxies -- Fitna al-Hind and Fitna al-Khawarij.”
Kabul's rejection of Pakistan's accusations comes as India has rejected with contempt the Pakistan army’s statement seeking to blame India for the suicide bomb attack in which 13 Pakistani soldiers were killed in North Waziristan yesterday.
