KABUL (SW): The Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has condemned the attack on the Sufi Shrine in Pakistan while underlining the need for honest determination against the menace of terrorism.
“President Ghani believes honest determination in fight against terrorism can ensure this dangerous phenomenon would not continue to commit crimes against humanity”, the Arg (President Palace) said in a message. The Afghan President himself is in Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference (MSC 2017).
The condolence message has underlined the significant role the Sufis played over the years in promoting the message of peace and love. It has condemned the terrorists for having no respect for the Islamic values and human dignity. “The Afghan government with its honest determination for peace has proved itself in fight against terrorism with so many sacrifices, and awaits other countries to perform their duties in fight against terrorism with honesty”, the message added.
This comes as Pakistan has closed the border for indefinite period following a deadly suicide attack that claimed over 70 people a day earlier.
