Kakar: Afghan Soil Should Not Be Threat to Pakistan or Region

The prime minister of the caretaker government of Pakistan, Anwar ul-Haq Kakar, claimed that Afghanistan’s soil is used against Pakistan.

Speaking to digital media platform Infer, Kakar asked the current Afghan government to take responsibility so that Afghanistan soil should not be a threat either to Pakistan or anyone else in the region.

“We are telling them that whatever circumstances brought you into the government, now this is your responsibility and you should be accountable for it -- that anyone from the soil of Afghanistan should not be a threat either to Pakistan or anyone else in the region,” he said.

Referring to the issue of deportation of Afghan immigrants from Pakistan, Anwar ul-Haq Kakar said that most Pakistanis were behind this decision.

“Majority of the Pakistanis were behind this move. There are some who were critical and who opposed this. I’m not saying that there was a consensus, but my own assessments, the kind of survey we were receiving, (the) majority of the Pakistanis supported this. First of all, non-documented aliens do not have any lawful right to stay here,” Kakar noted.

Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of using its territory against it, although the Islamic Emirate consistently pledges its security and that Afghanistan's territory will not be used against other countries.

The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Zabihullah Mujahid, repeatedly emphasized that providing security in Pakistan is not the responsibility of the Islamic Emirate, but the responsibility of the government Pakistan.

"The official position of the current Afghan government is that the country's territory will not be used against any country; this is included in the Doha agreements, and this is evidence that the government of Afghanistan cannot deviate from this. Secondly, we do not have the capacity to interfere in other countries' internal affairs," political analyst Moeen Gul Samkanai told TOLOnews.

"The Pakistani government's persistent claims about the TTP group's activities and presence in Afghanistan, and their claim that they are making Pakistan insecure from Afghanistan, are false and baseless,” Najib Rahman Shamal, another political analyst, told TOLOnews.

This comes as Pakistan's expulsion of Afghan immigrants and its claim that it has used Afghan soil against other countries have put a strain on ties between Kabul and Islamabad.
