It may be separately noted that today Pakistan dismissed allegations made by Afghan leadership as “baseless”.
“Pakistan has conveyed its serious concerns to the Afghan side by making a strong demarche with the Ambassador of Afghanistan in Islamabad on the recent irresponsible statements and baseless allegations made by the Afghan leadership,” Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafiz Chaudhri said in a statement.
He emphasized that groundless accusations erode trust and vitiate the environment between the two brotherly countries and disregard constructive role being played by Pakistan in facilitating the Afghan peace process.
