The Islamic Emirate Afghanistan had already issued a fatwa (decree) that launching attacks in “Pakistan is not jihad” (holy war), a senior diplomat of Afghanistan said Wednesday.
Acting Consul General at the Afghan Consulate in Peshawar Hafiz Mohibullah Shakir said that his country’s defence ministry had also made it clear that attacking Pakistan did not fall under jihad, reports a news channel.
Shakir said the TTP militants had migrated to Afghanistan during former US-backed Afghan president Ashraf Ghani’s tenure i.e. 2014-2021. He was overthrown by the Taliban. “I want to make it clear: No attacks will be launched from Afghanistan on Pakistan,” the envoy added.
“We have no objections to the decision taken regarding Afghan refugees, but an appropriate method should be adopted to send them back,” the acting Afghan consul general said.
