Afghanistan’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to China, Mawlawi Bilal Karimi, has identified Pakistan’s ruling circle as the primary cause of instability both in the region and within Pakistan itself. He stated that unless this “malicious” circle is brought under control, neither Pakistan nor the broader region will see peace and stability.
According to Mr. Karimi, this circle has proven to be a cancerous tumor to the region’s security and stability, acting like an artificial project aimed at sowing discord.
He also referred to recent unrest in Pakistan and the suppression of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protests, stating, “They have taken their own people hostage and turned Pakistan into a playground for ISIS, narcotics, and other dangerous games.”
It is worth noting that Pakistan’s current ruling class, particularly Army Chief Asim Munir, faces international accusations of supporting terrorism.
