Islamabad: Former Canadian politician and diplomat Chris Alexander has accused Pakistan of being complicit in proxy war and engaging in an “act of aggression” against neighbouring Afghanistan.
Reacting angrily to Alexander’s tweet, Pakistan”s Foreign Office, in an overnight statement, strongly objected to the remarks made by the senior Canadian politician, describing his comments as “misleading assertions” based on ignorance about the facts on the ground.
Pakistan has faced accusations from the Afghan government officials for the alleged backing of the Taliban, but it is rare that a foreign figure has pointed to it. India has also repeatedly asked Pakistan to stop supporting cross-border terrorism and not provide safe havens to militant groups.
