Pakistan can’t decide our role in Kabul: India

New Delhi, January 18

India today said it is not for Pakistan to decide as to what role another country has in regional and global affairs. Islamabad, it said, cannot decide on behalf of an independent and sovereign country Afghanistan and dictate to them as to how to conduct its foreign policy.

Responding to questions on New Delhi’s stand in the wake of reports from Islamabad that claimed India has no role to play in Afghanistan, MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said: “Pakistan should first and foremost introspect its own role and responsibility in the precarious situation in Afghanistan; put an end to all kind of support to cross-border terrorism from territories under Pakistan’s control, and join international efforts to bring inclusive peace to Afghanistan.”
