'Pakistan stands by Afghan brothers in hour of need'

Pakistan has regretted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's statement on suicide bomb attack in Kabul in which he held it responsible for the tragic incident.
Responding to President Ghani's accusations, the Foreign Office said on Tuesday, that Pakistan condemns the attacks in Afghanistan and stands by the Afghan brothers in this time of need. He said Pakistan supports Afghanistan and Afghan leadership's efforts for peace and reconciliation.
Afghan president accused Pakistan on Monday of sending "messages of war" and harbouring bomb-making camps, after a wave of devastating blasts in Kabul killed at least 56 people.
To this the Pakistani spokesperson stressed that Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism and is committed to combat terrorism and eliminate terrorists.
Pakistan itself is a major victim of terrorism and has lost over 60,000 lives so far on this count. Therefore, people and government of Pakistan can feel well the grief and anguish of people and government of Afghanistan, he added.
