Pakistani media quoted the country’s chief of army staff, Syed Asim Munir, saying that the insurgency in Balochistan has long been supported by Afghanistan, and the western neighbor has never shown friendship towards Pakistan.

He also stated: “The life of a single Pakistani is more important than the entire Afghanistan.”

According to the Express Tribune, Munir made the remarks during a session with students from public and private universities on Wednesday.

Munir said "when it comes to the safety and security of every single Pakistani, the whole of Afghanistan can be damned."

Afghanistan was the only country that opposed Pakistan’s admission to the United Nations after independence, Munir said, and added that the problem is that "our people do not read history."

He also claimed that Pakistan provided food for five million Afghan nationals for 50 years, but “when it comes to our children, we will pursue those who attack them."

The Islamic Emirate has not yet commented on Munir's remarks but earlier said that Pakistani officials should not blame Afghanistan for their failure and for being unable to provide security on their own soil.

The political analysts meanwhile said that the Pakistani officials are attempting to hide their security weakness by making allegations about Afghanistan.

“The Islamic Emirate has a clear stance. They have repeatedly said that we don’t want to interfere in anyone’s affairs and we don’t want others to interfere in our internal affairs. The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman has denied the presence of TTP (Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan) repeatedly,” said Gul Mohammaddin Mohammadi, a political analyst.
“Pakistan is more like Afghanistan of 2018. It attempts to hide its security weakness through accusing Afghanistan,” said Ahmad Munib Rasa, a political analyst.

Earlier, Balochistan's caretaker minister for information, Jan Achakzai, said that Afghan soil is a threat to Pakistani security forces. 

Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Jan Achakzai also said that terrorists have networks in Afghanistan.
