Pakistan must stop providing safe havens to terrorist groups: Pence

Monitoring Desk

KABUL: US Vice President, Mike Pence has blamed that Pakistan still providing safe heavens to the terrorist groups and these groups are regularly attacking the American forces and its allies.

He warned the Pakistan to stop providing safe heavens to the terrorists as it will not be tolerated anymore and adding that US made it clear to Pakistan to stop the double policy in this regard.

Mike Pence said this while addressing to US troops during his surprise visit to Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan on Thursday. While repeating the President Trump statement, Pence repeated that Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with the United States and Pakistan has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists.

During his visit, he also held meetings with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah at the presidential palace.

Pence said that US wants partnership with Pakistan but for this Pakistan has to follow and respect the mutual and region interest and stop providing the safe heavens to terrorists groups.

However, Pakistan on Tuesday rejected what it called accusations made in the Trump administration’s first national security strategy, saying “unsubstantiated allegations” in the document trivialized Islamabad’s efforts to fight terrorism.
