Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani:

Pakistan is a Muslim country, a loyal nation that has endured many hardships alongside the Afghan people.

Today, those in power sitting in their chairs should broaden their thinking and perspectives. What are you not doing? Which direction is the country heading? Where is the economy going? Where is politics heading? You are becoming isolated from the world map.

These Afghans, who have endured every era of slavery and hardship with you, who have shared nights of misery with you, are the reason you have reached this position. Do not make such weak moves.

I appeal to the Muslim nation of Pakistan, politicians, scholars, and national elders to open the minds of your military.

We did not fight against the armies of the world, against the tanks of the world with resources, rather, it has been our nation that has continued to fight.
