Pak averse to growing India-Afghan friendly ties : says Karzai

Pak averse to growing India-Afghan friendly ties : says Karzai
Islamabad, Jun 17 (UNI) Pakistan is against Afghanistan sharing a good rapport with India, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said. Mr Karzai said "Islamabad wants no bilateral trade and no access to Central Asia for India which is unacceptable to Afghanistan", Mr Karzai said. ''India wants to truly befriend Afghanistan and we want Pakistan to do the same'', a report in daily Dawn based on Mr Karzai's interview to BBC Urdu service, quoted the former premier as saying. Mr Karzai claimed that India is helping Afghanistan build its infrastructure and health facilities and has "filled Afghanistan with money despite being a poor country". He said, Pakistan should also become a part of the regional coalition that comprises Afghanistan, India and Iran, but "Pakistan's condition is that Afghanistan should not have contacts with India". "If this issue is resolved, our relations with Pakistan will improve rapidly," he said. On terrorism, Mr Karzai reiterated this is a menace which has affected people of both Pakistan and Afghanistan but "we (Afghans) think they have found safe havens and are getting aid from Pakistan". "When this will stop, Pakistan too will see peace," said Mr Karzai, who ruled Afghanistan from 2004 to 2014. UNI XC SV SS 1354
