"India is our close friend. We want to engage with them, to talk about these issues, so that things like this don't happen. This is our request to other countries too.

Pakistan Blatantly Lying

Pakistan is still in denial mode following one of the deadliest airstrikes on Afghanistan where at least 400 people were killed while around 250 were injured. Hamdullah Fitrat, Afghanistan's deputy government spokesperson, said the airstrike hit a drug rehabilitation hospital and destroyed major portions of the 2,000-bed facility. However, the allegations were denied by Pakistan. Ghazanfar said that the hospital supports a lot of people and these strikes can be devastating for the common people of Afghanistan.
