Quetta: A Balochistan  Assembly member has said Afghanistan's cross-border aggression  is a result of Pakistan's  long-held policy of supporting extremism.

Speaking on the floor of the house, Awami National Party Parliamentary Leader Mohammad Asghar Khan Achakzai claimed Pakistan had made efforts for transition of power to the present rulers in Afghanistan after US invasion, yet had to pay the price for supporting the policy of extremism for 40 years, reports Dawn News.

He questioned the attacks which were taking place even after the establishment of the Taliban government in Afghanistan as per the “desire of Pakistan”.

He said the situation was not in favour of both the countries as young civilians were targeted in the incident.

 Achakzai said shelling by Afghan forces in Chaman created uncertainty and terror in the border town.

He said a joint resolution should be adopted against the incident.
