Maqam condemns attack on Pak consulate by Afghan citizens

PESHAWAR   -   Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Engineer Amir Maqam strongly condemns the attack on the Pakistani consulate in Frankfurt by Afghan citizens.

“It is intolerable for miscreants to remove the Pakistani flag,” the minister said demanding the German government to take action against the miscreants.

He also asked the Afghan government for legal action against miscreant citizens.

“We will have to review our policy regarding Afghan refugees after this incident,” he said.

He said Pakistan is hosting the Afghan refugees for last 40 years and this is what they are repaying for our hospitality and generosity.

Such incidents will create problems for both the Pakistani government and the Afghan refugees residing here, he said.

Those carrying out such condemnable actions abroad for political gains are conspiring against the relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, he said.
