It's easy to show bravado in an online forum where you don't have to fear anything.

Most of them are kids filled with all this fake aggression from playing CSGO and PubG and think war and killing is fun.

Here comes an obsessed monkey with no connection to this issue in anyway but cant stay away from anything related to Pakistan. It's a mental illness

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.

Boohoo, demolish the embassy for being a danger to the surrounding properties and civilians.

The people of Pakistan had enough of Afghan snakes. We are going to humiliate and isolate Afghans in our society. We are going to beat them up. They will leave.

Agree with you, these afghan namak harams have brought thier medieval kalashnikov culture along with opium drugs and ruined Pakistans society, until these idiots stop dreaming of claiming Pakistani land as part of unstable Afganistan, then these Afghans have no right to live here.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Good, now close all your consulates and embassy .. and GET THE F OUT .

 

[alibaz]

Involvement of ambassador is unacceptable. I feel totally disappointed by seeing his immaturity and ignorance about diplomatic norms. The guy should be declared PNG and sent back cause you can expect even a bigger blunder from this guy.

 

[Daghalodi]

Please Shut it down forever and stay out of Pakistan

 

[loanranger]

Deal with them via iron hand. Any softness and they will be even more emboldened. Use of extreme force by police is advised.

 

[Zibago]

Legend has it no fuks were given that day

 

[Safriz]

How can Afghani embassy claim ownership of any part of Pakistan?
How stupid are they?

Good Riddance...

If they actually had some shame, they would have called all their citizens back and then shut.

Thank the almighty most pakistanis aren't as hateful as the people in this thread

Most Pakistanis have seen the double crossing and lack of morality and ingenuity in Afghans repeatedly. They live in Pakistan or have grown up there and yet curse it when they get the chance.

I will be surprised if more Pakistanis don;t hate them already.

Afghan pride and ghayrat only works on half strenght most of the time.

How can Afghani embassy claim ownership of any part of Pakistan?
How stupid are they?

Let me explain to you why the Afghan has become so emboldened. The Afghan believes that US/NATO and Indian promise for delivering a greater Afghanistan, which includes mostly Pakistani territory, is always on.

The US/NATO in particular have made fantasy promises to their Afghan brethren in exchange for full obedience. Just like US/NATO promised their PKK Kurdish brothers a fairyland. We know how the PKK promise ended up.

Ever since Pak forces built the fence on the border the US/NATO are in a constant fix. They don't support the fencing for obvious reasons because it would undermine their goal of dividing and destabilising Pakistan. Even if the fencing perfectly addresses US/NATO accusation for stopping infiltration on their side. It reveals you what the real agenda is.

Afghan consulate to file new case for possession of disputed Peshawar market

REHMAT MEHSUD

October 14, 2019

Customers look at shoes at the sprawling Afghan Market in Pakistan’s Peshawar city on Thursday, October 10, 2019.

PESHAWAR: The Afghan consulate will file a new legal case over the possession of a disputed market in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan, a lawyer for the consulate said on Sunday.

The consulate was closed for an indefinite period on Friday to protest the removal of the Afghan national flag from a disputed property known as Afghan Market that has been in the possession of the Afghan government for several decades. On Saturday, provincial Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai said the government was making efforts to ensure the Afghan consulate was reopened as soon as possible but legal wrangling intensified on Sunday.

“We are reopening the entire case from scratch,” Shakil Gilani, a lawyer representing the Afghan consulate in Peshawar, told Arab News. “And this time the parties in the case will be the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan versus the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”

Spread over 2,500 square meters, the Afghan Market is situated close to Peshawar’s famous Jinnah Park. It is estimated that Afghanistan’s national bank collects over Rs1 million ($6,380) in rent from shopkeepers working in the market every month.

Heavy machinery being used to evacuate shopkeepers from the disputed Afghan Market in Pakistan’s Peshawar city on Thursday night, October 10, 2019.

On October 8, the district administration evicted 180 Afghan shopkeepers from the market and removed the country’s national flag after a contempt of court petition was filed in the Peshawar High Court by Syed Intekhab Haider Abidi, the market’s owner, seeking implementation of a 1998 judgment in his favor. The administration later handed over possession of the shops to Abidi.

Abidi’s lawyer Fazal Haque Kohi Damani told Arab News his client has been allotted the land claimed by the Afghan consulate in 1948, and the documents furnished by the Afghan government to prove possession before several courts since were fake. He said Abidi registered an appeal in 1974 that he be given ownership of the land. In 1984, the Senior Member Board of Revenue (SMBR) Peshawar passed an order instructing that Abidi be given possession of the land within ten days.

The Afghan government then filed a writ petition against the SMBR’s decision, which was dismissed by the Peshawar High Court in 1998, Damani said, after which the Afghan government approached the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which also terminated their claim.

In 2001 and then again in 2014, the Supreme Court of Pakistan twice dismissed the Afghan government’s review petitions, Damani said.

In the latest legal battle, a four-member Supreme Court of Pakistan bench once again overturned the Afghan government’s petition on November 29, 2019.

“In view of court directions, now my client Abidi legally has ownership of over 27,225 square foot land,” Damani said.

Responding to a question about the Afghan consulate filing a new case, Damani said he was ready to face the consulate in any court of law, warning that Kabul had already lost the case over a dozen times in several courts.

According to the chairman of the Afghan Market, Malik Khan Sayed, the government of Afghanistan had bought the land from the then government of India in 1946, a year before the partition of India.

With the passage of time, he said the government of Pakistan had introduced the 1958 Act, which laid down provisions for transferring properties by non-Muslims moving to India from Pakistan or allotting properties to people moving to Pakistan from India.

Due to continuous unrest in Afghanistan, Sayed said, successive Afghan governments and their embassies ignored the 1958 Act regarding the transfer and conversion of properties.

Syed said the case had been under trial since 1971 and the land transferred under different names using bogus affidavits with the involvement of influential politicians and political parties, in connivance with land grabbers.

He said the “tragedy” was that the Afghan government had not taken timely interest in clearing the case.
