Kabul/Islamabad, Apr 13 (Reporter) As tensions continue to simmer between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has once again accused Kabul of harboring terrorists. “We have been reiterating that it remains an important bilateral relationship for Pakistan, we are neighbours bound by layers of history, culture, language. We have been trying to improve relations; but the major roadblock, of course, remains the security situation and the sanctuaries enjoyed by terrorists,” Shafqat Ali Khan, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said in a statement to reporters, according to Tolo News. Previously, Mohammad Sadiq, Pakistan’s former special envoy for Afghanistan, had described the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as the primary stumbling block in the bilateral relations during a session in Islamabad, emphasising that this issue must be resolved. He warned that if not addressed, all agreements between the two countries could be cancelled.

Afghanistan has completely refuted the charges, saying that TTP is a Pakistani group which was created by Islamabad, and their inability to handle them is entirely their fault. Gul Mohammaddin Mohammadi, a political analyst, talking about bilateral relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, said “These two countries are neighbours. They need to solve their problems through dialogue and avoid creating further hardship for the people living on both sides of the Durand Line.” Relations between the two countries have become increasingly tense and hostile, as Kabul has repeatedly refused to recognise the Durand Line, and its forces dismantle fences and infrastructure put up by the Pakistan Army on the border. This has resulted in frequent cross-border firings between the two countries. In addition, Afghanistan has repeatedly complained about Pakistan’s poor treatment of Pashtuns, and has been critical of Islamabad’s mass deportation of Afghan migrants living in the country. Pakistan has been forcefully deporting a large chunk of the migrants back to Afghanistan, even those Afghans who have been living in Pakistan for decades, and have established businesses in the country. Despite the Afghan Taliban’s complaints, Pakistani authorities have continued their mass deportation campaign, resulting in greater animosity between the two sides...////...
