Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Doha, reacted to the statement from Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the summoning of the Islamic Emirate's deputy ambassador in Islamabad. He said that Pakistan should focus on ensuring its own security instead of making excuses.
Shaheen further added that every country should provide its own security.
According to Shaheen, the Islamic Emirate's policy is economy-centered, and the caretaker government does not want its relations with neighboring countries to be damaged.
The head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Doha said: "Our policy is economy-centered; therefore, we want security and stability in our country and the region. However, the internal security of each country is its own responsibility, and instead of making accusations, they should focus on their own security."
Meanwhile, some analysts believe that by accusing Afghanistan, Pakistan has adopted a new approach.
"The fire that Pakistan or its military or intelligence agencies have lit has caught up with them and might escalate further," Aziz Stanikzai, a military analyst, told TOLOnews.
"Pakistan has once again faced the defeat of its military, and the operations they started under the name 'Resolve for Stability' have faced a strong reaction from the Pashtuns, and Pakistan wants to divert the attention of its people and media towards Afghanistan once again," said Mohammad Mateen Mohammadkhil, a military analyst.
Earlier, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had summoned the deputy ambassador of the Islamic Emirate in Islamabad due to the occurrence of attacks, particularly an attack in Bannu.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, in a statement, called on Kabul to thoroughly investigate the nature of this attack and to take immediate, strong, and effective actions against those responsible.
