Islamabad: Islamic Emirate should fix its own problems instead of lecturing us
The statement stressed that the Islamic Emirate should prioritize inclusivity, ensure the right of girls to education and not allow terrorist groups to pose a threat to neighboring countries.
Following the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) call on the Pakistani government to negotiate with its political opponents, Islamabad on Monday asked IEA to fix its own problems instead of “lecturing a democratic country.”
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejected the Afghan Foreign Ministry’s statement on the recent protests in Pakistan as “unacceptable and deplorable” interference in the country’s internal affairs.
The statement stressed that the Islamic Emirate should prioritize inclusivity, ensure the right of girls to education and not allow terrorist groups to pose a threat to neighboring countries.
Amid protests by supporters of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, IEA said on Sunday that tensions between Pakistan’s government and the opposition have reached a worrying level and could have a negative impact on the entire region.
In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said the best way to meet the “legitimate demands of the people” was to hold negotiations.
