RAW conniving with Taliban, Daesh: FO

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has said Afghanistan should take measures for not allowing its soil to be used against Pakistan.

“Afghanistan should take measures for not allowing its soil to be used against Pakistan. Indian intelligence agency RAW personnel in Afghanistan and other Taliban terrorist groups and Daesh are involved in terror-related activities in Pakistan. Mullah Fazlullah is the mastermind of the terror act in the Army Public School, Peshawar,” this was stated by Foreign Office (FO) Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal during hi weekly press briefing here on Thursday.

He said that Pakistan had provided several evidences of terror acts to Afghanistan and asked it to take action against the terrorists. But no positive response had been received from the neighbouring country.

He held that Pakistan had evidence about the RAW’s rapport with Afghanistan. The US and Afghan government had been informed in this regard. Talking about the Indian forces’ brutalities in held Kashmir, he said, “We condemn the atrocities of Indian troops against unarmed Kashmiris and human rights violations by them in Kepwara and other areas.

Illegal activities of Indian occupation forces are continuing in held Kashmir and 12 Kashmiris have been martyred during the operations. India has kept 800 Kashmir Hurriyat leaders under illegal detention.”

“Pakistan strongly condemns inhuman treatment being meted out by India to people of Kashmir,” he added. He stated that Indian high commissioner was summoned on persistent violations of ceasefire agreement on LoC by the Indian troops.

Responding to a question, he said reply from India about Kulbhushan Jadhav’s wife had been received. India had requested for arranging the meeting of the mother of Kulbhushan with her son. “Pakistan is considering it seriously,” he said.

Regretting making the process of acquiring medical visa nearly impossible by India, he said the medical visa should be issued on humanitarian grounds. Several Pakistanis wanted to go to India for medical treatment.

He said that Pakistan had despatched initial relief goods for the quake-affected people in Iran and Iraq. To a question about taking into their custody a Baloch citizen by the Switzerland government, he said no country allowed any person, who is involved in terrorist activities, to enter its territory.
