ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Ulema Council and Special Aide to Prime Minister on Religious Harmony and Middle East Hafiz Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi has said India attempting to use the Afghanistan soil for terrorism and extremism activities against Pakistan.

Talking to the media on Monday, he said: “The world leadership must pay attention and take notice of the situation. What is the purpose of Indian arms and weapons being transported to Afghanistan? India's relations with international terrorist organisations are an open secret now,” he added.

Ashrafi said Pakistan paved the way for dialogue between the US and Afghan Taliban. He said everyone was acknowledging Pakistan's efforts for peace in Afghanistan, and the Afghan government officials should make responsible statements, as Afghan Taliban were not subject of Pakistan; they are free and independent. “The stance of the government of Pakistan is in line with the sentiments of the people of Pakistan,” he said. He said Pakistan does not interfere in internal affairs of any other country.
