Won’t tolerate any invisions, Afghanistan warns Pakistan after airstrikes

Kabul: The Afghan Foreign Minister on Thursday issued a stern warning to Pakistan saying they did not tolerate any attacks on their people, urging them to learn lessons before targeting Afghanistan from history. 

In a statement by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said that Afghans will not forget the invasion of their territory, and Pakistani rulers should adopt a measured policy. 

Speaking on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of Soviet Union Amir Khan Muttaqi warned Pakistan of the recent air strikes and said the Afghan government will not tolerate any invasions. Pakistan should learn from the fate of the Soviet and United Nations.  He also reportedly called on the people of Pakistan to stop their rulers’ wrong policies.

His reaction came less than 48 hours after Pakistani air strikes inside Afghanistan that killed 46 people, including several women and children on Tuesday night.

The airstrikes by Pakistani fighter jets on parts of Barmal district in Paktika province was the second instance this year of Islamabad directly hitting “civilian areas” on Afghan territory.

Enayatullah Khwarazmi, the spokesperson for the Afghan Ministry of Defence, earlier on Wednesday stated that Pakistan must realise such arbitrary actions do not solve any problems.

“The Islamic Emirate considers this brutal act a violation of all international principles and an outright aggression, and strongly condemns it. The Pakistani side must understand that such arbitrary actions are not a solution to any problem,” the spokesperson said in a statement to the media said.
