Kabul/Islamabad: – Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has expressed confidence that the Taliban will not support Daesh- the ISIS in Afghanistan. Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh has taken cognisance of the statements made by the Pakistani foreign minister about the Taliban. Vice President Saleh asked a pointing question ‘When did the Taliban give this information to the Foreign Minister of Pakistan?’. The Afghan Vice President also asked, ‘When did Taliban’s Quetta Shura meet at Pakistan’s GHQ military headquarters?’.
A few days ago, Qureshi had said that he was not a spokesman for the Taliban. Moreover, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan had also said that Pakistan would not comment on Taliban. The Pakistani government is trying to send a message that it has nothing to do with the Taliban’s bloodshed in Afghanistan. But while making these claims, the Pak ministers expose their own country, for they indicate that the Taliban is under their control. By declaring that the Taliban will not shelter Daesh- the ISIS in Afghanistan, Foreign Minister Qureshi has once again added to the problems his country is facing.
Pakistan’s foreign minister has expressed confidence in the Taliban, saying IS was plotting against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. But the Afghan vice president picked on his statement, asking when did Taliban approach Pakistan’s foreign minister; this has exposed Pakistan. At the same time, Afghan Vice President Saleh once again slammed Pakistan. He said that the Pakistan fully supports the Taliban’s bloodshed in Afghanistan.
