Afghan Taliban bluntly blames Pakistan for attack on army base – It is not right to blame us for everything
Pakistan has shown a tough stance towards the Afghan Taliban after the attack on the army base in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Pakistan has once again said that Afghanistan’s soil will be used against it. Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) has issued a statement saying that the Afghan government should take immediate and strict action against the organizations spreading terrorism in Pakistan. On this, the Afghan Taliban has said that they will provide all possible cooperation in the investigation but Pakistan should also understand that blaming us for everything is not right.
Speaking to Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said, we are shocked by the attack in Pakistan. We will look into the demands made by Pakistan and investigate the matter. Mujahid also said that Afghanistan should not be blamed for every issue. Instead of pointing fingers at us, Pakistan should focus on its own security. They should get their things in order.
This attack is a failure of Pakistan: Mujahid
A Taliban government spokesman said the area where the attack took place is hundreds of kilometers away from Afghanistan. Pakistan has strong security forces. In such a situation, he should have foiled this attack on his soil. This is a failure of Pakistani security forces. Kabul has not allowed anyone to use its soil against any country. If we get information that there is a plan to attack Pakistan from our soil, we will investigate it.
Let us tell you that 23 soldiers have been killed in a suicide attack on the army base in Dera Ismail Khan of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
