National Security Adviser Moeed Yusuf expressed concern over the worsening situation in Afghanistan on Friday, terming it “extremely bad and out of Pakistan’s control”.
Briefing the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, he warned of an impending risk of an attack by Tehreek-i-Taliban, who, he said, could enter Pakistan disguised as refugees.
He, however, denied the presence of the Taliban in Pakistan as of now, terming the reports “Indian propaganda”.
“India is financially facilitating the propaganda and agencies have even made arrests in this regard.”
Yusuf said Pakistan was very concerned about the changing situation following the US drawdown and would be adversely affected by the growing violence and civil war in Afghanistan.
“The region’s peace is conditional on peace in Afghanistan,” he added.
Yusuf further said that the Afghan government needed to work on improving relations with Pakistan if it wanted peace in the country.
