Pakistan rejects baseless and unfounded allegations regarding the latest Kandahar attacks
Islamabad (Dunay New) - Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday has dispelled all allegation regarding the latest Kandahar attacks.
On Wednesday, Foreign office (FO) said in a statement, "Pakistan rejects baseless and unfounded allegations regarding the latest Kandahar attacks. No hard evidence or intelligence related information has been shared to date with Pakistan to substantiate such claims."
"In the presence of elaborate mechanisms under Afghanistan -Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Stability (APAPPS) to mutually and effectively address and investigate any such unfortunate incidents, it would have been more appropriate to invoke the relevant arrangement instead of resorting to media blame game which is contrary to the seven principles of cooperation agreed between the two sides, earlier this year," FO office further added in its press release.
Earlier, on October 20, more than 130 Afghans were killed or wounded in poll-related violence, officials said, as the legislative election turned chaotic with hundreds of polling centres failing to open and voters queueing for hours.
Most of the casualties were in Kabul, where at least four people were killed and 78 wounded in multiple explosions, acting health ministry spokesman Mohibullah Zeer told, after the Taliban warned voters to boycott the ballot "to protect their lives".
The Taliban said the attack had targeted Miller and Raziq, but US officials and Resolute Support said it was an "Afghan-on-Afghan incident" that had not targeted the American general.
