Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani said on January 23 that Pakistan continues to give sanctuary to an insurgent group that helps the Taliban in its war against Kabul and the United States, directly contradicting an earlier statement by Prime Minister Imran Khan, reports Daily Times.On January 22, Prime Minister Imran Khan had told reporters at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the Haqqani network, which the United States has designated as a terrorist group, has no activities or bases in Pakistan.“And you believed him?” Ghani, also at Davos, asked on January 23. “One can also say that the earth does not revolve around the sun.” “This is a denial that is not helpful. We need to engage in a constructive engagement where the special relation between the Taliban and Pakistan ends. It is good for both countries and it is good for the region and the world,” he said.
