ISLAMABAD, Dec 22: Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said on Friday that there was no restriction on holding rallies in the country but no one would be allowed to violate law and disturb peace.

Talking to reporters after inaugurating the computerised vehicles registration system in the capital, the minister said those who created a law and order situation would be dealt with sternly.

Responding to a question, the interior minister urged Kabul to stop blaming Pakistan for the worst law and order situation in Afghanistan and come up with evidence, if it had any, to substantiate the allegations.

“Both the sides should not indulge in blame game and try to solve the problem jointly,” he said.

The minister said a stable Afghanistan was in the interest of Islamabad and the region.

“We are doing our best for stability and peace in Afghanistan and the government is contributing a lot towards rehabilitation and reconstruction in the neighbouring country,” he said.

The interior minister said Pakistan had avoided indulging in accusations as it “wants to have good relations with Kabul”.

Responding to a question about anti-government rallies being staged in different parts of the country by religious organisations and parties, the minister said: “Such protests will achieve nothing as people understand the politics of the opposition parties and know that they do not have any agenda to put before the nation.”
