YORK: On Wednesday, Senator Ishaq Dar, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister, urged the Afghan interim government to take tangible, substantiated steps to prevent terrorism on Afghan soil against its neighbors, especially Pakistan.
The deputy premier expressed Pakistan’s serious worries about the existence of over two dozen terrorist organizations operating within Afghanistan during his speech at the OIC Contact Group on Afghanistan’s inaugural meeting.
He mentioned organizations such as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Majeed Brigade, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), emphasizing their grave threat to regional and global peace and security as well as their active cooperation with Al-Qaeda.
