NC Moniotring Desk KABUL: Reacting to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah’s statement about targeting Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) hideouts inside Afghanistan, interim Taliban government said that it would not allow anyone to attack Islamic Emirate and ask Pakistan to share its reservations with Kabul.

Responding to Sanaullah, Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said, they would not allow anyone to attack Afghanistan. Spokesperson stated that Afghanistan wants to have good relations with Pakistan and that its officials should use caution when speaking. “No country has right to attack another nation’s territory. There is no legislation in world that permits such transgression. If anyone has any worries, they should share them with Islamic Emirate since it has sufficient forces and can take action,” Mujahid maintained. Meanwhile, in separate statement, Afghan Ministry of Defense said that remarks of Pakistani official are baseless and provocative and that any problem or dispute should be resolved through dialogue. Interior Minister in an interview with Pakistani news channel said, “Islamabad may target TTP in Afghanistan if Kabul does not take action to dismantle them”. “When these problems arise, we first ask Afghanistan, our brotherly Islamic nation, to eliminate their hideouts and hand over those individuals to us, but if that doesn’t happen then what you mentioned is possible,” Sanaullah said.
