Saturday, June 18, 2016
Kabul (BNA)  The recent provocations of Pakistani militarists along the so called 
Durand Line in Torkham area is a clear violation of international standards and criteria, therefore, there is a need for international credible organizations to intervene and prevent the escalation of further tension.
BNA political analyst commenting on the issue writes the situation along Durand Line due to illegal and provocative military activities of Pakistani militarists is tense. The Pakistani army with unjustifiable programs and using weapons has caused armed clashes, is responsible for killing of people on both sides of Durand Line.
The problem emerged, after Pakistani militia without informing border military in charges started military constructions, which sparked the reaction of the Afghan forces, our people expected.
In exchange, of fire from both sides of Durand Line that caused casualties and destruction on both sides, the Pakistani side without double will bear the consequences of that.
What had happened during the recent days is a regrettable and shameful incident. A violation that is not new, the Afghans have been witnessing such tyrannical violating for long years along imaginary Durand Line. Earlier, often Pakistani army have also committed such ferocious violations in Paktika, Kunar, Nangarhar, paktia, Zabul, Helmand … .   
The problem is not only the construction of Pakistani military bases on Torkham, but it goes much beyond. Pakistani militarists in pretext of counter terror fighting, management of the borders, preventing illegally crossing the borders is thinking about its hegemony and prominence over Durand Line. If Pakistan is honest on fighting against terrorism, the leaders of all terrorist groups including Taliban, Haqani’s notorious network, Daesh and other terrorist groups such as Al- Qaeda are living in Pakistan. If the sanctuaries of these evil groups were destroyed in Pakistan territory, there would be no any problem in fighting against terrorism, there would be no illegal crossing the border and there would be no place for Pakistani pretexts, mostly resort.
As it mentioned above, the construction of military base, is not the only problem, Pakistan for achieving its regional illegal objectives uses Taliban and other terrorist groups in proxy war again Afghanistan. The recent provocations in Torkham are a part of violations Pakistan has committed for achieving that hegemonic goal.
Now, it is the time, the Afghan leadership based on commitments for their people raise the inhuman deed of Pakistan in credible international organizations such as UN, Conference of Islamic Countries and other regional associations and launching an extensive diplomatic campaign further isolate Pakistan among the countries of the world.
