Pakistan’s lack of will in dealing with insurgents stems from its “India phobia”, its military and civilian tensions and its trust deficit with neighbours, Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister has said while demanding the dismantling of “safe havens” in Pakistan to defeat terrorism.
“The way Pakistan behaves is because they have India phobia, there are military and civilian tensions and there is trust deficit between Afghanistan and Pakistan,” Salahuddin Rabbani said when asked what motivates
Pakistan in dealing with insurgent groups and its “lack of will” to help deal with Taliban and other terror groups.
“After the formation of the national unity government, we did our best to go and work with Pakistan and we tried to open a new chapter of relations. On India phobia and the military and civilian tensions of the Pakistani leaders, this is something that they (Pakistan) have to sort it out,” he said.
