India on Monday unequivocally condemned the air strikes by Pakistan on Afghan civilians, including women and children, in which several people were killed, and said it is an old practice of Pakistan to blame its neighbours for its failures.
”We have noted the media reports on air strikes on Afghan civilians, including women and children, in which several precious lives have been lost. We unequivocally condemn any attack on innocent civilians. It is an old practice of Pakistan to blame its neighbours for its own internal failures. We have also noted the response of an Afghan spokesperson in this regard,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in response to media queries.
