After common people, social media activists, and former Afghan officials furiously reacted to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statements over sending qualified and trained workforce to Afghanistan, the Taliban also reacted saying the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan does not need cooperation and assistance in this regard.
Deputy of spokesman of the IEA Bilal Karimi said that Afghanistan has a sufficient number of trained and qualified people inside the country and does not need foreigners from any country.
Meanwhile, another spokesman of the IEA Inamullah Samangani in a Twitter post said that Imran Khan’s statements have been misunderstood and that the Pakistani PM did not mean sending Pakistanis to Afghanistan to get recruited.
“Journalists have misunderstood and they cannot prove Imran Khan’s statements through the official source. The fact of the matter is that Imran Khan asked neighboring countries to assist the Afghan people,” Reads the Twitter post of Samangani. Meawhile, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday, while praising the Pakistani government’s proposal to send qualified and trained manpower to Afghanistan, said that “there is no need for it”. “Hamid Karzai welcomes PM Imran Khan’s suggestion over sending foreign manpower in particular Pakistani manpower to Afghanistan but there is no need for such manpower,” it read.
