KABUL - President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has said he can provide the addresses of the Taliban leaders in Quetta city of Pakistan.
During an interview with Geo News, President Ghani said Pakistan provides sanctuaries to terrorists and trains them, making relations with Pakistan, the bigger challenge for his country.
“We cannot understand when Pakistan says it will not allow a group of terrorists to amend its constitution, army act and prepares a National Action Plan (NAP) against them. Simultaneously, Pakistan tolerates another group which attempts to undermine the government and bring horror, death and destruction to Afghanistan,” said Ghani.
In response to a question regarding Pakistani officials’ claims that the leader of Pakistani Taliban Mullah Fazlullah has sanctuaries in Pakistan, President Ghani said  Afghan forces have bombed the chief of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Mullah Fazlullah, eleven times along with attacks on his close aides.
“Can you show me a single operation against the Haqqani network, against Mullah Omar, against Mullah Mansoor, Mansoor traveled on a Pakistani passport out of Karachi, does Fazlullah travel on an Afghan passport out of Kabul,” asked Ghani.
The remarks by President Ghani come as the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistan for its failure to act against the militant groups operating against Afghanistan using the Pakistani soil.
The Afghan officials are saying that the Taliban group as well as the notorious Haqqani terrorist network are having safe havens in Quetta and Peshawar cities of Pakistan. (KP)
