Date:

Amid terror attacks in Afghanistan, Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, has declined invitations extended by top civil and military officials to visit Pakistan.

According to reports, Ghani’s Deputy Spokesperson, Dawa Khan Minapal, said that Ghani, who met with Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Naveed Mukhtar and National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq over the past week, had rejected their invitations, saying he would not visit Pakistan until Islamabad hands over the perpetrators of terror attacks in Afghanistan.

“I will not go to Pakistan till the perpetrators behind the attacks on Mazar-i-Sharif, the American University [in Kabul] and the Kandahar attacks are handed over to Afghan authorities and until Islamabad takes concrete action against Afghan Taliban militants on Pakistani soil,” Minapal quoted Ghani.

Afghan authorities claimed that the Afghan president, during his meeting with the ISI chief, presented documents relating to investigations into recent attacks in Afghanistan and urged Pakistan to hand over the perpetrators, BBC Urdu reported.
