Afghanistan: Hekmatyar wants Pakistan, Afghanistan to remove trust deficit

KABUL, 25 June 2022, (TON): Former prime minister of Afghanistan and chief of Hizb-e-Islami Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has urged the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan to take sincere and effective steps for overcoming the widening gap.

In an exclusive chat with a group of Pakistani journalists at his residence here, he said steps should be taken to overcome misconceptions and trust deficit between the two neighbouring Muslim countries.

He added “I see the gap between Islamabad and Kabul is widening and on the other hand Kabul and Delhi are coming closer to each other.”

He said “if Pakistan has some concerns over Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the matter should be resolved through joint sincere efforts.”

He added “the TTP was formed and activated during the US aggression here. It was an old issue and it should not be linked with the current government of Afghanistan.”
