Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor Denies Intention to Occupy Afghan Soil

Rana Sanaullah, political advisor to Pakistan's Prime Minister, stated that Islamabad has no intention of occupying any part of Afghan soil.

Speaking in a media interview in Faisalabad on Saturday, Sanaullah said Pakistan is not seeking war with Afghanistan despite internal and external challenges.

He affirmed that Pakistan reserves the right, within the framework of international laws, to prevent the use of its soil for terrorism.

Sanaullah emphasized that Pakistan's military operations against hideouts of armed groups in Afghanistan will continue until their complete elimination. He added that some of these hideouts have been destroyed, with monitoring ongoing to prevent their re-establishment.

The advisor also claimed that training of armed groups in Afghanistan involves the participation of Israel and India. These claims have been raised previously but have faced reactions and doubts.

In another part of the interview, Sanaullah said Pakistan has achieved a new position globally and can serve as a symbol of hope for unity in the Islamic world.
