ISLAMABAD: Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti on Thursday criticised the Afghan government for the Reported “state patronage” provided to terrorists operating from their soil.
At a press conference in the federal capital, CM Bugti said that terrorists easily find training camps and safe havens in Afghanistan.
“They receive state patronage there. Several Khawarij who were recently killed were Afghan citizens,” he said.
Bugti urged the Afghan interim government to abide by the Doha agreement, in which they committed to not allowing their soil to be used against any country.
Pakistan has long urged the Afghan government to cut ties with groups responsible for carrying out terror attacks in the country.
At the recently held Inaugural Meeting of the OIC Contact Group on Afghanistan in New York, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar raised concerns over the presence of more than two dozen terrorist groups inside Afghanistan, particularly the TTP, BLA, Majeed Brigade, and ETIM, actively collaborating with Al-Qaeda.
Meanwhile, CM Bugti reiterated his stance that Indian intelligence agencies were funding violence against security forces and civilians in Balochistan.
“I have been saying from day one that it is a RAW-based and RAW-funded war. India is trying to bring together all the actors working to destabilise Pakistan,” he said.
