Khawaja Asif, the Minister of Defence of Pakistan, said on Tuesday that the claim that Pakistan targeted a hospital in Kabul is being made by the same people who attack mosques and martyr worshippers.
The minister made the statement on the social media platform X, previously Twitter.
Afghan Taliban allegations against Pakistan
Atta Tarar, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting of Pakistan, responded to accusations by the Afghan Taliban regime. He stated that they are further lying by alleging that Pakistan targeted a drug rehabilitation hospital in Kabul.
“This claim is completely baseless,” he had said.
“Pakistan, in its ongoing war on terror, is only targeting those military and terrorist targets, including the Afghan Taliban regime’s infrastructure,” he said.
Further, he added, “These are being used directly or indirectly to plan, facilitate, shelter, train or encourage terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
افغان طالبان رجیم یہ الزام لگا کر مزید جھوٹ بول رہا ہے کہ پاکستان نے کابل میں منشیات کی بحالی کے ہسپتال کو نشانہ بنایا۔ یہ دعویٰ سراسر بے بنیاد ہے۔

Responding to the statement made by Tarar, Khawaja Asif said, “This claim is coming from those who attack mosques. Martyr worshippers with their heads bowed.”
He added that these are the people who target unarmed citizens, markets and schools. These statements are coming from those who bathe innocent children in blood, he added.
Further, he pointed out the smuggling of drugs, which he‘Claim coming from those who attack mosques:’ Khawaja Asif condemns Afghan Taliban allegations against Pakistan stated is their source of income.
“People who kill the benefactors are attacking the state that has provided them with shelter for fifty years,: Asif said.
He further added, “They do not honour the commitments they make and demand billions of rupees in ransom to fulfil the commitments.”
Khawaja Asif further said that the soil of Pakistan not only gave shelter to them, but also clashed with a superpower for them. It has hosted three generations of people, he added.
“We have made many mistakes in our 78 year history, but their hospitality is the most blatant mistake. May Allah forgive us, Ameen,” he concluded.
