Kabul calls for talks between Pakistan’s government and opposition

KABUL (Ariana News): The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) said on Sunday that tensions between Pakistan’s government and the opposition have reached a worrying level and could have a negative impact on the entire region.

In a statement on X, Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said the best way to meet the “legitimate demands of the people” was to hold negotiations.

He noted that recent events have proven that refusing to negotiate complicates the issue.

Balkhi said the Islamic Emirate was closely monitoring the situation in Pakistan, hoping that the Pakistani government and its influential institutions would behave reasonably and realistically in the face of growing discontent.

Supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan have rallied in Islamabad to push for Khan’s release as the police blocked roads, cut off mobile internet and fired tear gas to deter the protesters. Dozens of police personnel have been injured in clashes with protestors.
