Islamabad on Sunday rejected Afghanistan's allegations that Pakistan's ISI helped plan Wednesday's tanker bomb attack in Kabul that left hundreds of casualties.
AVA_ This accusatory approach is instigated by those who have no interest in peace and stability in Afghanistan and their malicious agenda is to damage Afghanistan-Pakistan relations and the cooperation initiatives recently gaining momentum,” Sartaj Aziz said.
Citing challenges in Afghanistan, Aziz said that levelling allegations against other countries “only signifies a tendency to externalize the internal challenges faced by Afghanistan.”
He further called for a “transparent investigation” by the Afghan authorities into the incident to determine the perpetrators based on concrete evidence. “Pakistan supports any such investigation.”
