Kabul, Nov.27 (ANI): Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, MuhammadSadiq, on Friday accused India of creating problems in the global waron terror, instead of assisting effectively in anti-terrorinitiatives.
Sadiq’s broadside came even as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,who is currently attending the CHOGM summit in Trinidad and Tobago,has been saying that New Delhi has no hesitation in holding a dialoguewith Pakistan provided it prevents its soil from being used byterrorists.
Sadiq, during an interview, said India should support the efforts putup by Pakistan against terrorism. But, on the contrary, India iscreating problems for Pakistan by raising issues, including adifference over the distribution of water.
India is buttressing the terrorists and their activities instead ofhelping Pakistan and is providing weapons in Balochistan andWaziristan, Saidiq further stated.
He also blamed India for helping the Taliban, saying it is on one handproviding arms and ammunitions to the Taliban, and on the other hand,pressuring Pakistan to end terrorism.
India, he said, is not interested in Pakistan’s war against terrorism.This fact, he added, is vindicated by the fact that New Delhi suppliesweapons to the Taliban in Waziristan and Balochistan.
He was categorical in stating that this was a misplaced policy and itsnegative effects would be felt not only in Pakistan but also in India.
India, he insisted, is peddling propaganda against Pakistan inAfghanistan, and this was major factor for Pakistanis not being in thegood books of some in the Afghan establishment here.
He refused to believe that this was a policy of Afghan President HamidKarzai. Rather, he said, this is the policy of countries and theiragents who spend huge amounts of money in a propaganda war againstPakistan.
“Everyone knows who are these people,” he added.
He asserted that most of the captured suicide bombers in Pakistan wereAfghan nationals. He said the man who cut the throats of 11 securitymen was an Afghan suicide bomber.
He strongly advised the need for maintaining a strict vigil along thePakistan-Afghanistan border to check illegal infiltrations.(ANI)
