Summary Islamabad has called for an end to blame game after Karzai pointed to Pakistan on Ashura blasts.
It is high time to get out of the blame game as such and to move forward in the spirit of cooperation, said foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit.Publicly accusing Pakistan of unfounded events and things do create problems at some stage,” he told reporters.We would like to have a relationship that is free of recrimination and blame game, Basit added.Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan are tense, and frequently spiral into mutual accusations over the violence plaguing both countries.Its up to Pakistan to take action and find out where and how the contact was made by Lashkar-i-Jhangvi from inside Pakistan. They shouldnt wait for us to provide them with evidence, Aimal Faizi, Karzais spokesman, told AFP about the Ashura blast.Faizi said an Afghan investigation was under way but it is thought officials do not currently have evidence of the groups involvement.
