Monitoring Desk:
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Fawad Hussain Chaudhary has said on Monday, “we are monitoring changing situation in Afghanistan”. He said if Afghanistan descended into civil war, the government will not let the fallout affect Pakistan.
We are trying our best for a way forward in Afghanistan through a peaceful regime that is [formed] on the basis of suggestions from all stakeholders,” he added.
The Federal Minister took to social media network Twitter and clarified that Prime Minister Imran Khan has already stated that Pakistan can be a partner with the US in peace not in war.
Chaudhry added that the political and parliamentary leadership in Pakistan had agreed on the “principle of non-interference [in case of Afghanistan]”.
The information minister’s remarks are the latest in a string of statements by Pakistani authorities regarding growing concerns over rising violence in Afghanistan and its expected fallout in Pakistan, with the US drawdown in the war-torn country now in its final stages.
