Pakistan did not provide any military support to Taliban: Rasheed

Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Wednesday said that Pakistan did not provide any military support to the Taliban.

While speaking to a ceremony in Islamabad, the minister said that all the conspiracies of the Indian government against Pakistan have badly failed in Afghanistan.

He said that Pakistan wants peace and prosperity in Afghanistan, adding that Islamabad would provide all possible humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

He urged the world community to restore the frozen funds of Afghanistan.

Talking about women empowerment, he said that a special women market will be set up in the federal capital.

He asked women to come forward and play their due role in all fields of life.

The minister said that it is imperative to involve women in the overall development of the country.

He said that with his efforts, two women universities were established in Rawalpindi and the third one would be established soon.

The minister said he made efforts for establishing women colleges in each part of Rawalpindi, due to which the daughter of a poor rikshaw driver got top position in competitive examinations.
