Pakistan summons Afghan Charge d' Affairs, protests over Chaman firing
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Office on Friday summoned Afghan Charge d' Affairs Abdul Nasir Yousufi to lodge strong protest over the unprovoked firing by the Afghan forces in Chaman area.
Unprovoked firing by Afghan forces has martyred several Pakistani citizens and injured a number of people, including women and children.
The Afghan Charge d' Affairs was conveyed that Pakistani authorities were undertaking the population census and this information had been shared with Afghan government earlier. The unprovoked firing from the Afghan side not only led to the loss of precious lives and injured many, but has also disrupted the census in areas on the Pakistan side of the border and caused damage to properties.
“We urge the Afghan government to take immediate steps to bring an end the unprovoked firing from the Afghan side. Action should also be taken against those who are responsible for this violation”, a foreign office statement said. Islamabad
