Pakistan’s top diplomat Sartaj Aziz on Monday lashed out at Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s for calling Pakistan a terror sanctuary in his remarks at the Heart of Asia conference. However, Pakistan’s de facto foreign policy chief felt Ghani’s statement was incomprehensible and condemnable, and contended that it was meant to “please India”. Aziz said that Pakistan was always being blamed whenever there was an attack inside India and Afghanistan despite the fact that it was striving to promote peace in the region. “If I had not been to India, it certainly would have a backlash as India would have got another opportunity of spreading propaganda,” he said. “It is totally incomprehensible not to allow someone to talk to media.”Read| Ghani’s criticism of Pakistan affirms India’s portrayal of Islamabad
