PESHAWAR: The General Secretary of the Peshawar City Muslim League, Prof Imdad Hussain, in a statement to the Press here today [June 15] warned the Kabul Government to [discard its] un-Islamic policy towards Pakistan and not aggravate further its relations with the people and the Government of Pakistan with its new policy of victimization of Pakistani nationals. Pakistan, he said, has so far adopted an attitude of strict diplomatic decency in the face of grave provocations but it will not, he warned, brook insulting treatment [of] its own nationals.

Prof Hussain described internal conditions in Afghanistan as “chaotic and full of explosive possibilities” and advised the Kabul ruling clique that if it had a tinge of sympathy [for] its people it should … stop suppressing the popular movement of the Democratic Party. —
