The prime minister while drawing conclusion said that Afghan people had always resisted the foreign forces, and had been very independent minded people. ‘You cannot control them from outside like US tried to,’ he added.To another query, he said from Pakistan’s point of view, ‘inclusive government means a stable Afghanistan after four decades of war’.’As well wishers of Afghan people, we want them to be stable. They could be controlled from outside, it’s a fantasy. Pakistan only suggested there should be an inclusive government, he said, adding Taliban also understood it.Prime Minister Khan said Afghanistan was home to multi-ethnic groups, where Pashtuns were in majority while Tajik, Uzbek and Hazaras were minorities.The prime minister reiterated that Afghan people had been very democratic as they had a decentralized democratic system.However, about the recent situation, he said that it was very difficult one.’I do not know what will happen. I pray for peace and stability of Afghanistan,’ he added.About Pak-US ties, the prime minister said the two sides had been constantly in touch with each other.To a question, he said US president Joe Biden was under a lot of pressure as he was being criticized for the awful airport scenes and the later happenings. Those scenes drew reaction from the US public.Prime Minister Khan maintained that bilateral ties between the two sides had a long history in which there were ups and downs.He asserted that on Afghanistan, US’ role was critical as it left the country after twenty years of war and spending over 2 trillion dollars.If there was a mess, like after USSR’s forces’ withdrawal during 90s, it could once against result in bloodbath. If there was a chaos in Afghanistan, the international terrorist outfits could find safe havens there, he cautioned.About terrorist attacks inside Pakistan, the prime minister said during, 2014, the security forces launched the biggest operation in North Waziristan and pushed out TTP elements towards Afghanistan.There, he said, they were helped by the former Afghan intelligence agency and Indian RAW. They were used to conduct attacks inside Pakistan.The TTP had recently attacked Chinese workers and other conducted attacks in Balochistan province, he said but expressing his confidence to overcome.
