| Taliban, other terrorists no more need Pakistan land for operations: Asif |
| 2017-10-27 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Pakistain’s foreign minister Khawaja Asif has said the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... group and other turbans no more need the Pak land to use for their operations. Speaking to the Pak Senate on Wednesday, Asif presented the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan as a justification for his claim regarding the Lion of Islam group’s unwillingness to use the Pak soil. He claimed that the ISIS terrorist group and Taliban forces of Evil have influence and control over 45 per cent of the soil of Afghanistan. He also accused Afghanistan for acting as a controller for India and warned that this would never be acceptable for Pakistain. According to Asif, the peace and stability in Pakistain has links with the peace and stability in Afghanistan, promising continued support of Pakistain in the fight against terror. However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... he said Pakistain will never become someone’s proxy, apparently gesturing towards the US pressures to act against the Taliban and other terrorist groups. The United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday visited Pakistain and met with the top Pak officials, including Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and reiterated President Trump’s message regarding the increased efforts needed by Pakistain to eradicate the murderous Moslems and turbans from its country. "The Secretary reiterated President Trump’s message that Pakistain must increase its efforts to eradicate murderous Moslems and turbans operating within the country," the Departmetn of State said in a statement. The statement further added "To address those concerns, the Secretary outlined the United States’ new South Asia Strategy and the vital role that Pakistain can play in working with the United States and others to facilitate a grinding of the peace processor in Afghanistan that can bring stability and security to the region." |
