Reacting to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border dispute, the Minister of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said India “remains fully committed to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Afghanistan.”
In a statement on Thursday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal accused Pakistan of harboring “terrorist organisations”. He said, “Three things are clear.”
“First, Pakistan hosts terrorist organizations and sponsors terrorist activities,” Randhir Jaiswal said.
“Secondly, it is an old practice of Pakistan to blame its neighbors for its own internal failures,” he added.
“Third, Pakistan is angry because Afghanistan is exercising sovereignty over its own territory, the MEA said.
Randhir Jaiswal concluded by saying that India remains fully committed to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Afghanistan.
The MEA's statement came a day after Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire.
