World Knows What Pakistan Has Brought To Afghanistan: India

External affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India supports all peace initiatives in Afghanistan and remained in touch with various stakeholders including regional countries.

The world knows what Pakistan has brought to Afghanistan, India said on Thursday in a terse response to Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's comments that its presence in the war-ravaged country is larger than it ought to be. "We firmly believe that it is for the Afghan people to decide their partners and the size of that partnership. India has brought electricity, dams, schools, health clinics, roads and community projects to Afghanistan," external affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. "The world knows what Pakistan has brought to Afghanistan," he said at a media briefing when asked about Qureshi's comments. It is widely believed that the Pakistani security establishment has been supporting several terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Haqqani Network which are active in Afghanistan.
