Islamabad : Pakistan on Tuesday refuted Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s accusation of Pakistan’s involvement in suicide attacks, saying the allegations are “baseless”.
“Such baseless accusations serve no purpose other than vitiating bilateral atmosphere and creating an artificial crisis in Pak-Afghan relations,” said a statement issued by Pakistani foreign ministry.
Reports said Karzai on Monday directly accused Pakistan’s intelligence agency of being behind a recent wave of deadly attacks in Afghanistan, including the Indian embassy bombing, which killed 58.
Afghanistan also suspended some scheduled meetings between the two countries.
“Pakistan hopes that Afghanistan will do some rethinking and desist from such provocative statements and initiation of blame game,” the statement said.
