The spokesperson said any self-serving and fanciful claims about the legality and sanctity of the Pak-Afghan border cannot change the facts of geography, history and international law.
The Spokesperson further said the “Afghan side will be well advised to address Islamabad’s genuine security concerns than try to divert attention of public by such unfortunate public pronouncements”.
