Pakistan's agenda to gain control of Afghanistan by supporting the Taliban and to use the territory of this country to spread terror in Kashmir is still intact, president of Afghanistan's military security Gen. Mohamme Zahir Akbar has said.
“Pakistan's agenda for Afghanistan is still intact. They still want to support the opposition to destroy the peace that has returned to this war-torn country. The network of ISI in the country is still trying to use this territory to prepare militants to fight in Kashmir and the rest of India,” Zahir said in an exclusive interview.
Asked what steps are being taken by the government to break the network, he said, “It was the people of Afghanistan who are telling us about the ISI agents and their activists. We are finding them one by one and we will destroy the network,” he said.
On Afghanistan's future relation with Pakistan, he said that we do not have any enmity with Pakistan as a nation. But Zahir, who was the chief of Kabul police during the time when Burhanuddin Rabbani was in power, said, “If Pakistani politicians follow the same idea or principle as was the case when Taliban was in power, the people of Afghanistan will not accept that country as a friend.”
“If they change their policy towards Afghanistan we will have no problem with our neighbour,” Zahir, who remembers his visit to Taj Mahal and Red Fort, said.
