Kabul: – ‘No matter how much Pakistan manipulates through propaganda, it does not change the reality and improve the image of Pakistan in my country. This is because the Pakistani military is the mastermind, facilitator and owner of the horrific terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, and that is the reality,’ slammed the Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh. The Pakistani government and serving and former military officials are criticizing the Afghan leaders for blaming Pakistan for their failures. However, Afghanistan insists that Pakistan is responsible for the Taliban’s bloodshed in Afghanistan and the international consequences are beginning to show.
For the past few days, Pakistani leaders and the military-influenced media, have been targeting the Ashraf Ghani government in Afghanistan. Pakistan has accused President Ghani of not wanting to step down despite the Taliban being ready for talks. At the same time, Pakistani leaders are claiming that there is no cooperation between the Taliban and Pakistan. Instead, Pakistani leaders and media are citing evidence of the sacrifices made for Afghans.
