Special Representative for Afghanistan Asif Ali Durrani said that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been carrying out terrorist attacks on Pakistan from Afghanistan and stated Kabul interim government must stop this process.

Asif Durrani said that "the peace [the Taliban] brought to Afg must also be brought to our borderlands."

He says TTP fighters in Afg, who he noted are using US weapons, should be "returned to Pakistan or neutralized."

USSR reach Kabul without Pakistan’s initiation

He also strongly denied the Afghan accusation of interference in Pakistan. Addressing a function in Islamabad, Asif Ali Durrani said that the Soviet Union was not invited to Afghanistan by Pakistan, nor was the Afghan refugees invited by Pakistan itself.

Asif Ali Durrani said that peace, stability, development, and prosperity in Afghanistan have to be decided by the Afghans themselves. “Pakistan or the outside world cannot provide a lasting peace and security solution in Afghanistan,” he said.

Afghan Refugees in Pakistan

Caretaker Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti had given time to the foreign nationals residing illegally in Pakistan to voluntarily leave the country till November 1 and said that if such persons do not return within the given time, the law enforcement agencies will deport them.

Taliban government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid has requested the government of Pakistan to review illegal refugees’ repatriation policy and insisted Afghan refugees have no hand in Pakistan's security problems.
