National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf on Friday told the Ashraf Ghani-led Afghan government to focus on its battles at home, instead of running campaigns against Pakistan on Twitter.
The government has been hitting out against Afghanistan in recent days after the Ghani-led regime blamed Pakistan on several occasions for its troubles at home.
Advisor Moeed, during an interview with CNN on Friday, said Pakistan was “affected the most due to the war in Afghanistan”.
Reiterating that the country was a victim of the war, he asserted that it seeks an end to it.
“Pakistan is not responsible for the failure of the incumbent Afghan government,” he added.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has always stated that the Afghan issue can only be resolved through an inclusive political method, not by military action, Moeed continued.
The advisor said Pakistan was also not responsible for the lethargy of the Afghan security forces, as the Taliban continue to capture city after city.
Moeed highlighted that India was using Afghan soil to launch attacks against Pakistan.
At the same time, he urged the world not to isolate Afghanistan during these tough times.
“Afghans are our brothers and sisters, but we cannot bear any more refugees,” he said.
The international community should ask the Afghan government what has happened to the billions of dollars that they had received in donations, said Moeed.
Earlier this week, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the international community must look into the “meltdown” of Afghan security forces in the face of Taliban offensives across Afghanistan, instead of blaming Pakistan for the fast-deteriorating situation.
Moeed and Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry a couple of days ago revealed a report on anti-Pakistan social media campaigns that were launched between 2019 and 2021 from India and Afghanistan, with the aim of running a “targeted, deliberate and conscious disinformation campaign against Pakistan”.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a day earlier, had said Indian agency RAW and Afghanistan’s NDS were involved in the Dasu incident that occurred in July.
