Afghanistan shuts consulate in Pakistani city over market ownership dispute

ISLAMABAD, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan government on Friday shut down its consulate in the Pakistani city of Peshawar over the removal of the Afghan national flag by Pakistani authorities from a marketplace, which the Afghan embassy said belongs to Afghanistan.

The Afghan embassy in Islamabad said the police in Peshawar, capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, raided the Afghan market Thursday night and removed the flag.

The controversy over the ownership of the market started after Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled on its ownership in favor of a Pakistani national while the Afghan embassy said the market is the property of Afghanistan since long.

As the Pakistani apex court delivered the verdict, the Pakistani authorities started demolishing shops at the market and removed the Afghan national flag.

Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan Atif Mashal visited Peshawar on Monday and hoisted the flag.

But the Afghan embassy said on Friday that the Pakistani authorities again removed the Afghan national flag from the market.

A statement from the Afghan embassy said that the embassy shut down the Afghan consulate as a protest.

"We consider the Pakistani police action as violation of the diplomatic norms and good neighborhood," the statement said.

Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Faisal said that the case for legal possession of the Afghan market was between a private Pakistani claimant and Afghanistan's national bank.

"The Supreme Court has decided in favor of the private claimant. It is a purely legal matter and action has been taken following court's order," the spokesman told a weekly briefing on Thursday.

LOL Good fvck off from Pakistan. No one wants you here.

What bravery is this? What about the other 5 million Afghans languishing in Pakistan? When are you going to take them in?



5 million are LEGALLY in Pakistan. Another, at least 5 million afghans are ILLEGALLY residing in Pakistan. That makes AT LEAST 10 million afghans in Pakistan.

Such a big loss to Pakistan.......:disagree:

Imran Khan and his wish for peace. There cannot be peace with Afghan savages. Kick them out of Pakistan.
I second IK's peace policy; only then we may see their return to Afghanistan.

Thank the almighty most pakistanis aren't as hateful as the people in this thread
Because normally people don't think what it means of hoisting flag or claiming other country's territory by such a high level diplomat. For them it's just a normal event.
