Pakistan not doing enough: Afghanistan

Afghanistan has charged Pakistan with not doing enough to curb Taliban insurgency in the landlocked country.

Kabul, June 5 : Afghanistan has charged Pakistan with not doing enough to curb Taliban insurgency in the landlocked country.

Afghan Army Chief General Bismillah Khan was quoted by the Daily Times as saying that the "cooperation that we need (from Pakistan), unfortunately, we don't get."

Khan made the comments as he toured a commando training centre in Kabul with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

Khan said the two countries needed a better exchange of information and more joint training exercises. ccording to the journal AsianViews, last year, Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused Pakistanof wanting to enslave the Afghan people.

It said that Karzai's statement was departure from his "customary reticence and his careful wording", and seemed to suggest that the government in Kabul was and continues to be desperate to survive the ongoing corruption, charges of maladministration and resist the pressure from warlords and narcotics traffickers.

It says that the Karzai Government's to reach out to the moderate Taliban has been a dismal failure. Pakistan is being accused constantly by the Afghan leadership for providing a sanctuary to the Taliban in FATA and allowing them to launch attacks on Afghanistan.
