ISLAMABAD: Sheikh Rasheed, the Federal Minister for Interior, stated Monday that the suicide bomber who attacked the FC checkpoint the day before had arrived from Afghanistan.
A suicide bomber struck an FC checkpoint on Mustang Road on Sunday, killing four FC soldiers and injuring 19 others.
“The terrorists who carried out the bombings in Quetta and Gwadar were both from Afghanistan,” Rasheed said during a news briefing in Islamabad. Both terrorists have been identified, he added.
‘India is the only country in the region that has been humiliated on several occasions.’
India has been beaten in Afghanistan, according to the minister, and it is the “only country in the area that has been humiliated repeatedly.”
Rasheed dismissed reports that an Afghan refugee camp exists in Pakistan, calling such allegations “completely untrue” and part of “India’s unfounded propaganda.”
“We have guaranteed Afghanistan that our territory would not be used against them,” Rasheed said, adding that after the Taliban create their government in Afghanistan, he will address the subject further.
Afghanistan has also promised not to allow anybody to use its territory against foreign countries, according to Rasheed.
He also addressed other concerns, stating that the Chaman border issue will be settled by September 12.
In response to a query on Pakistani politics, Rasheed stated that the politics of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, Shahbaz Sharif, and Maulana Fazlur Rehman have “came to an end.”
