The Defense Minister lashed out at the Taliban authorities, saying that the country was neither upholding its obligation as a neighbour nor safeguarding the peace agreement, he tweeted on Saturday, reports Khaama Press.

On Friday, the Army expressed its concerns, saying Afghanistan has long been perceived as a safe haven for the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) organization.

“The involvement of Afghan nationals in acts of terrorism in Pakistan is another important concern that needs to be addressed,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement as quoted by Khaama Press.

“Such attacks are intolerable and would elicit an effective response from the security forces of Pakistan.”
