‘Situation is dangerous in Afghanistan’, Pakistan could face blowback: Zardari

Islamabad, June 29(UNI) :PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday said that the situation in Afghanistan is very “dangerous” and warned that Pakistan could face a major “blowback”.
Speaking to Dawn.com prior to the budget session in parliament, he said that Pakistan needs to “keep an eye” on the developing situation in Afghanistan and mull and deliberate on the matter expressing the hope that concerned officials and authorities will take appropriate decisions accordingly.
The US pullout of Afghanistan has raised concerns in recent days over a security vacuum as the already dim prospects of successful reconciliation between the Afghan government and the Taliban are growing dimmer with every passing day.
Pakistan fears that the US pullout would further lead to an intensification of the civil war in Afghanistan especially in the absence of a political settlement which they said will bring in more refugees into Pakistan.
