ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has regretted the Afghanistan government’s twisting of facts about some recent incidents of firing along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the Dispatch News Desk (DND) news agency reported.
“As a matter of policy, Pakistan does not fire across Pak-Afghan Border. Cross border attacks by Terrorists on Army/FC posts are responded to in self-defense only,” said a statement issued by the Foreign Office in Islamabad on Wednesday.
The statement said that Pakistan has formally shared location of these Terrorist Camps in the areas mentioned and has requested the Afghan government to deploy its forces in these areas to bring it under their effective control.
“We hope Afghanistan will do the needful in line with the mutual understanding on these issues,” it added.
It is worth noting that the Afghan government wrote a letter to the United Nations (UN) on August 22 over alleged continuous shelling by Pakistan in various Afghan Cities along the border, and sought the UN’s intervention in that regard.
