“India’s ‘controversial role’ in Afghanistan can endanger regional stability,” says Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has said that any expanded Indian role in Afghanistan will not be in the interest of the region.

“India was engaged in using the terrorist outfits against Pakistan,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said in a weekly press briefing.

“We have provided credible evidence in this regard,” he added.

He said Pakistan had always emphasized for an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led reconciliation process for the resolution of the conflict.

Highlighting the Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, the spokesperson said that expeditious resolution of Kashmir dispute in accordance with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiri people was imperative.
