Pakistan preparing for ‘tough talk’ with Afghanistan
2017-01-24
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Pak authorities are preparing for a ’tough talk’ with the Afghan government officials as the country’s Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa is mulling to visit Afghanistan, it has been reported.

Sources privy of the development have said Gen. Bajwa will visit the country in an appropriate time with the main motive behind his visit would be to amend the fractured ties between the two nations.

A security bigshot speaking on the condition of anonymity told a local newspaper that Gen. Bajwa will likely visit the country after the Trump administration announces its Afghanistan policy.

The source further added that Gen. Bajwa will also deliver a clear message to the Afghan leadership to ’stop blaming Pakistain for your own failings’.

This comes as the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain for allowing the Afghan krazed killer groups, specifically the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network leaderships use its soil for planning and coordinating attacks in Afghanistan.

The US Department of State earlier said problem regarding the safe havens of the terrorist groups in Pakistain still persists.

State Department spokesperson Mark Toner made the remarks in response to a question regarding Afghan officials concerns about the attacks being carried out in Afghanistan using the Pak soil.

Endorsing Afghanistan’s view that bandidos Death Eaters are able to strike at whenever they want to because of the existence of safe havens, terrorist safe havens inside Pakistain, Toner said "Well, it continues ‐ so the short answer to your first question is yes, and I think we’ve been very frank and very open about publicly saying to ‐ to Pakistain that it needs to not provide any safe haven to groups that will or are intent on carrying out attacks on Afghanistan."
