Kabul: Taliban, which is in power in Afghanistan, has issued a statement on the attack on school bus in Khuzdar, Pakistan. Taliban has condemned this attack, and has also reprimanded the Pakistan government for linking the attack to Afghanistan. Taliban has said that Pakistan should give up the habit of pointing fingers at Afghanistan without any evidence. If Pakistan has any evidence of this, then it should bring it forward. After the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan had demanded evidence and investigation from India. Now Afghanistan has also said the same thing to the Pakistan government.
Taliban Deputy Spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said in his post on X, "The attack on a school bus in Khuzdar area of Pakistan is sad. Targeting children is not right under any circumstances. This attack is against humanity. Now Pakistani officials are saying that Afghanistan has a hand in this attack but they have no evidence. Afghanistan does not allow its land to be used against any country. In such a situation, Pakistan's allegations are completely baseless.'
The culprits were punished after investigation
The Taliban spokesperson said that it is absolutely wrong to accuse Afghanistan without any evidence. We appeal to Pakistan not to accuse Afghanistan without proof but to investigate. Pakistan should investigate this matter impartially and whoever is found guilty should be punished. Those who attack children should not be spared. The Taliban said that we want the culprits to be punished and not to point fingers at Afghanistan.
Five people including three children were killed and more than 50 injured in an explosion targeting a school bus in Khuzdar of Balochistan province of Pakistan on Tuesday. This school bus was carrying about 40 students to school. After the attack, Pakistan's PM Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir themselves reached Quetta and enquired about the condition of the injured in the hospital.
Finger pointed at India too
In Pakistan, fingers are being pointed at India and Afghanistan for this attack. An organization named Fitna al Hindustan is being blamed for this attack. Pakistani officials are linking this group to India and Afghanistan. India and Afghanistan have completely rejected these allegations.
