ISI DG rejects Afghan allegations of infiltration

The allegations of infiltration levelled by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, were rejected by Inter-Services Intelligence Director-General Lt Gen Faiz Hameed on Friday.

The top spymaster was talking to Geo News in Tashkent where he is attending the Central and South Asia Conference 2021 along with Prime Minister Imran Khan and other senior government functionaries.

During his address, the Afghan president had levelled unfounded allegations against Pakistan, saying that 10,000 fighters had crossed over into Afghanistan from the country.

“If talks fail, we will fight the Taliban,” said Ghani. “This is the last chance for peace,” he had said.

DG ISI categorically stated that these allegations against Pakistan are not true, in fact infiltration is being done from Afghanistan.

“We want peace in the neighbouring country as a peaceful and stable Afghanistan is in the interest of Pakistan and other countries,” DG ISI said.

He said that Pakistan is not supporting any faction in Afghanistan.

We are interested in a negotiated settlement among all the Afghan groups, he maintained.
