kitna zor se click karti hain........dara hi diya aap ne to..........
read again, he was not replying to that statement.....that statment was not posed as a question to him, but it was mentioned as pakistani position and below that the Indian position in the report.......(click the link because the copy pasting done here is bit misleading).......his first statement was that the Indian presence is miniscule and perfectly reasonable......
now pakistan will lose the strategic depth (whatever that means (bigsmile)) if India gets more foothold in Afghanistan even if that is due to the aid and development..........and pakistan's only excuse is to accuse India of formenting trouble as it cannot complain about India's aid work there........now for the sake of argument if we assume what you are saying has some truth, even then take a closer look at the below mentioned statements......and see who is the bigger culprit........
He said that Islamabad was also concerned about the issue of "cross-border militancy".
"The dominant infiltration of militants is from Pakistan into Afghanistan,_ _ _ _ _ _
We do remain concerned about the relative freedom with which Afghan insurgents can operate out of Pakistan," he said.
We believe that Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US need to collaborate much more closely to deal with this threat of cross-border infiltration." (notice he didn't mention India here while referring to cross border infiltration)
Here is the exact order:
Pakistan's concerns over India's presence in Afghanistan are exaggerated but "not groundless", US Special Envoy James Dobbins has told the BBC.
Islamabad accuses Delhi of fomenting trouble on its western border through its consular presence in the Afghan cities of Kandahar and Jalalabad.
India denies the charge and says it is working on trade and development.
India has spent $2bn on development projects in Afghanistan and has strong diplomatic and trade ties with Kabul.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Dobbins said the Indian presence in Afghan cities was minuscule and it was "perfectly reasonable" because of their economic and cultural ties.
But even if you change the order, the meaning still remain the same, that India's presence is important because they have economic and cultural ties(it doesn't give indians the certificate to help insurgents to make trouble in Pakistan's western border).
He also says in this news(remember i am not mentioning the order in which is said) that Islamabad accuses Delhi of fomenting trouble on its western border through its consular presence in the Afghan cities of Kandahar and Jalalabad. which is exagerated but "not Groundless". Now all this means is that india should remain in afghanistan and help them but they shouldn't help the trouble makers in the western Pakistani borders.
Conclusion:Pakistan is demanding of the US to take notice of India who is making trouble in Pakistan. If they are helping afghanistan that doesn't(and shouldn't) bother pakistan, but they should not make trouble for Pakistan.;)
