Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday rejected a tweet shared by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani earlier in the day, regarding alleged violence against protesters in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan provinces, and called the "irresponsible" statement a "gross interference".

Taking to Twitter, Qureshi said: "We reject the tweet by President Ashraf Ghani. Such irresponsible statements are only gross interference. Afghan leadership needs to focus on long-standing serious grievances of the Afghan people."

The Afghan government has serious concerns about the violence perpetrated against peaceful protestors and civil activists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

We believe it is the moral responsibility of every government to support civil activities that take a stand against the terrorism and extremism that plagues and threatens our region and collective security. Otherwise there could be long-standing negative consequences.

In a subsequent tweet, Ghani added: "We believe it is the moral responsibility of every government to support civil activities that take a stand against the terrorism and extremism that plagues and threatens our region and collective security. Otherwise there could be long-standing negative consequences."

Afghan president appeared to be referring to a sit-in of the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) in Loralai on Saturday during which PTM leader Arman Loni died.

A shutter-down strike in Quetta was observed on Monday following Loni's death, which the PTM alleged was a killing.

Later on Tuesday, during a protest outside the Islamabad Press Club called over Loni's death, rights activist Gulalai Ismail and 17 others associated with the PTM were detained by the capital police. Ismail was released Wednesday night.

PTM is a rights-based alliance that, besides calling for the de-mining of the former tribal areas and greater freedom of movement in the latter, has insisted on an end to the practices of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and unlawful detentions, and for their practitioners to be held to account within a truth and reconciliation framework.

hypocrisy at its best. Crying foul about interference, while in the same breath imposing Taliban on the Afghan people by force. This is why no one listens to you when crying about Kashmir. You can't expect of others, what you don't do yourself.

NDS is a goner. Everyone associated with it would either run away or die

lolll nice dream. NDS will be stronger than ever, now that we'll be in ceasefire.

Yes, at the hands of the Taliban, supported by their accomplices across the border. Suicide bombing in a mosque for gods sake.

Ghani killed PTM today by his tweets I don't know he was helping them or want to Screw them one way another he did a good job for Pak and also credit goes to Mohsin dawar as well. So for Pak and Govt it was win win situation .

Americans s new horse in Afghanistan r talibans they realized it very late but they r very clever also talibans needs legitimatcay with money as well. Ghani karzai they were American employees will go back to US.

 

[Ghessan]

[RIP Pak LAW]

lolll nice dream. NDS will be stronger than ever, now that we'll be in ceasefire.

NDS is getting heavy spanking these days by Talibans. Recently Talibans destroyed NDS two training camps and head offices. Talibans will make sure that NDS is cleared with northern alliance elements once agreement is reached. Also it is in Afghanistan's advantage to have a fair and national intelligence agency without any hawkish people who are on the payroll of others.

we'll have agencies, which suppose to protect national interest. Period. If that means blow to our enemies, then we've achieved just that. As for your wet dream of Taliban changing anything. Keep on sleeping.

ANA literally bombed a madrassa filled with little Pashtun children, there was no protest or outrage in the streets of Kabul.

You have always tried to spread division within Pakistan but that route has always taken you deeper into your own shit.

lolll nice dream. NDS will be stronger than ever, now that we'll be in ceasefire.

Ceasefire negotiations that your own puppet Government was not invited to.

Remember, it is WE that will decide your fate. Most likely this little puppet government experiment of yours will not make it through this year.

You know you post here as if you are this top shi.t and the words you spill here and the claims you make here would actually change the ground reality, and somehow miracles would happen and your words would come true.

REALITY CHECK - you don't matter. The ones who matter are the real Puppet Masters who are hidden and they ARE DECIDING the future of a piece of land called A-stan, and there is absolute nothing you can do to change this, no matter how much you cry and scream on a public forum. Thousands like you will have to live with the decisions of these powers. And this is the reality check for you..... see ya.

I dont know if you are a real Afghan or Indian False Flagger.
But Sad truth is that Your Nation Need to Stand up for its own interests if it has any right to be called a unified country at all in first place. What ever your country men are talking about today is way different then what reality is.
You know what destroyed Afghanistan? Its own Spineless People. Not considering Conspiracy theories or stuff.
1-Your Army and your own men from PDPA Murdered your own President Daud without any Trial or Arrest.
2-Then your own Army and Leaders Murdered the second President Tarkai
3-Then Your next President was Hafizullah Amin was Assassinated literally by Soviet Troops. And your nation was OK with that too. Foreign Troops Assassinating your F****** President in your Presidential Palace.
4-You own Govt Kept Soviet Troops in your country because they could not hold their country
5-After Soviet With-drawl and fall of communism what ever was left of your country started fighting like Dogs. Rashid Dostom, Ahmad shah Masood, Gulbadeen Hikmatyaar, Burhan udin Rabbani, Jalaludin Haqqani, etc etc were all afghans non of them was born or raised in Pakistan.
6-Then you invited Americans to rule your land. And now Americans are fed up of this hell hole your politicians want Indian Money to fill their pockets and restore this country?

Your leaders have been eating Foreign Aid and Keeping foreign Troops in your Country to hold them in one piece for almost 40 Years now.
We India and Pakistan are bitter Rivals and enemies but we are Nations. Countries United by Nationalism. Not like your country.
Your only Salvation is standing for your country to be Neutral instead of blaming everyone else for your problems.. Stop being an Indian Lapdog. Pakistan will never Allow it in 100 Years. Be Neutral country and everyone will be happy.

Being underdeveloped or being in turmoil is not a crime. Crisis come to every nation and they can be overcome. Go back to your homeland. Rise against this Stupid Tribal Ruling Class. Make your country neutral unified Nation. Or else keep appeasing India for their money and Abusing Pakistan. and Your Country will cease to exist. Ethnicity will overcome nationalism in long term if your people dont stand up.
