No support to Afghanistan if blame game continues: Pakistan
Pakistan will contribute towards the Afghan peace process but only on the basis of mutual respect and trust and in an environment free from 'recrimination' and 'blame-games.'
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said this while speaking to the Ambassador of the Federal Republic Germany, Dr. Michael Koch, who called on her at the Foreign Office to brief her about the recently held Bonn Conference on Afghanistan and about its conclusions, the spokesman at the Foreign Office said in a statement.
On Wednesday President Hamid Karzai blamed Pakistan for what he said was an unprecedented suicide bombing at a Shia shrine in Kabul on the 10th of Moharram. The Afghan president alleged that the bombing originated in Pakistan, and pledged to confront Pakistan about it.
"Pakistan is committed to an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process. But Pakistan looks forward to contributing, as effectively as possible, in an environment free from recrimination and blame-game and on the basis of mutual respect and mutual trust", Khar was quoted as telling Michael Koch.
Pakistan appears to have had enough of the blame game from Afghanistan, especially as fingers were pointed in its direction after the murder of Burhanuddin Rabbani and the recent attack.
Last month a meeting between Prime Minister Gilani and Karzai during the Saarc summit in Maldives did not appear to have mended the ties. Now, Pakistan's military has upped the ante after the Nato carried out an aerial strike, with Pakistan declaring it was boycotting Bonn Conference.
