Kabul, Nov.28 (ANI): Pakistan has once again blamed India of harbouring terror inside the country through Afghanistan and hampering Islamabad’s anti-terror efforts.
In an interview to a television channel, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Muhammad Sadiq accused New Delhi of creating trouble in Pakistan’s ‘war on terror’.
“India should support the efforts put up by Pakistan against terrorism, but the country is creating problems for Pakistan by spurring issues including water. India is buttressing the terrorists and their activities instead of helping Pakistan and is providing weapons in Balochistan and Waziristan,” The News quoted Sadiq, as saying.
He said India is working according to a massive propaganda, which is to malign Islamabad’s image on the international stage while pressurising it to end terror networks operating inside the country.
“India is peddling propaganda against Pakistan in Afghanistan; accordingly, the Pakistanis are not in good books of some in the establishment here (Afghanistan),” Sadiq said.
Meanwhile, Pakistani diplomatic circles have also criticised New Delhi for refusal to restart the stalled peace process.
“We do no see immediate chances of revival of the peace process, as instead of appreciating Pakistan’s act of arresting and beginning the trial of the alleged perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks, India has been using the incident to malign Pakistan as a hub of terrorism,” senior diplomatic sources in Islamabad said.
Referring to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s recent US visit, former Foreign Secretary, Tanvir Ahmad Khan said the prime motive of Singh’s visit was to urge the US to pressurise and alienate Pakistan.
“India believes that Pakistan is weak due to its security and economic problems and it is trying to put more pressure before resuming the peace process,” Khan said. (ANI)
