ISLAMABAD, Sep 28 (UNI) Pakistan has said that no foreign-imposed government could survive for long in Afghanistan, which has been proved by history.
"History has a lesson for everybody, and it is that no government in Afghanistan has survived if installed from outside," The News reported today quoting Pakistans ambassador to the United Nations Shamshad Ahmed as having told the CNN.
"Different powers tried that in the past, but all met failure," he added.
"It is absolutely a false allegation that Pakistan installed the Taliban in Afghanistan, the ambassador said.
"How the Taliban came to power is very well documented in western chronicle," he added.
"Taliban are the product of the decade-long misery and deprivation of the people of Afghanistan that they have been suffering after giving sacrifices for the cause of a free world." "The free world would not have been the same if the Afghan people had not given sacrifices.
Even Europe would have been different today.
So the Taliban came to the rescue of the Afghan people when they were suffering from a fratricidal civil war at the hands of power-hungry and blood-sucking warlords who took over the scene after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan," he said on Pakistans relations with the Taliban, the ambassador said, "we share a border with afghanistan which is more than 2400 kms long and we have deep-rooted historic affinities with the Afghan people.
For us it is absolutely important to accept whatever is the reality in Afghanistan.
Whatever is the entity based in Kabul." "We have not only accepted and recognised the Taliban but before them we recognised the Rabbani regime, before that we recognised the Mujjadadi regime, before that we even recognised and dealt with the puppet regimes installed by the Soviet Union.
So, for us it is a matter of geographic and historic compulsion to accept the realities in Afghanistan," he added.
Asked about Indias allegation on Pakistan for training and arming militants, he said, "India has always raised these baseless allegations that we have always rejected.
So I would not like to waste my time or your time by dwelling on indias allegations."
