India on Monday “unequivocally” condemned the Pakistani attack on civilians in Afghanistan, saying it was Islamabad’s “old practice” to blame its neighbours for its internal failure.
Kabul has claimed that Pakistani airstrikes on the Paktika province of Afghanistan on December 24 last year resulted in the death of at least 51 people, including women and children.
Responding to media queries regarding airstrikes on Afghan civilians, the Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have noted the media reports on airstrikes on Afghan civilians, including women and children, in which several precious lives have been lost.”
“We strongly condemn any attack on innocent civilians. It is an old practice of Pakistan to blame its neighbours for its internal failures. We have also noted the response of an Afghan spokesperson in this regard,” he added.
