Echoing the premier’s remarks, Asad Umar said, “The biggest superpower in the world invades one of the poorest nations on earth. The minister added that Pakistan has been and continues to be an agent for stability in the region and urged all stakeholders to work together for peace. The planning minister said it is time to stop listening to the few corrupt leaders in the Afghan government as their inability to carry the Afghan nation with them is the reason they are weak and isolated. “Global and regional players should not sacrifice the interest of the Afghan nation for these few corrupt leaders,” he added. Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari, too, slammed the policies of western nations in the region who are now again sending troops to evacuate their embassy staff.
