This has been circulating on the Internet for several days but now Khaama Press is reporting it
here in a story titled: "
Afghanistan needs to revise its policy regarding Pakistan".
The bottom line seems to be that in private Ashraf Ghani chewed out Pakistan's defacto Foreign Minister Sertaj Aziz. I guess more of marg-bar Pokiston to come.
It is being consistently reported that his excellency Dr. Ashraf Ghani has said: "
I will not visit Pakistan and waste any more time on the so called peace talks with Pakistan until I see some practical actions”.
Ahemm, so much for Pak-Afghan bhai-bhai -- but it is unlikely Pakistanis will learn -- what was the saying
"Aakalmand kay liya Ishara Kafii ... ?" wonder if there is a Dari equivalent? Dari anybody?
Slightly on the humorous side the article states: If the answer is yes to any of the 3 questions above,
President Ghani should go ahead and reward Nawaz Sharif by shaking his hand. -- Who knows, perhaps we Pakistanis are complicit by our meek policies that the Afghans believe in this fantasy that we are dying to
shake their hand, are we ??? -- it seems that Afghans think that our desire to kiss the hands of Afghans far surpasses the faithful's desire to kiss his holiness, the Pope's, ring.
There was a more in-depth, albeit poorly written piece on Eurasia Review written by an Afghan,
Aziz Amin Ahmadzai titled "WHY PEACE IN AFGHANISTAN MEANS PEACE IN PAKISTAN – OPED"
that can be read
here. Take aways from the Eurasia Review article were:
"Last week Mohammad Hanif Atmar, National Security Adviser to President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, has said all religious schools (Madrasas), which spread radicalism in South Asia, must be closed."
-- Mr. Atmar, like Mr. Ghani is a former communist, he was part of a special forces unit and he lost his leg while defending Jalalabad from the Mujahadeen forces in the 1980s and needless to say a stanch anti-Pakistani
"President Ghani is trying to adopt a new policy in regards to Taliban. President Ghani says that he will never visit Pakistan until it is result oriented and he will not participate in any dialogue that has no positive outcome. According to sources close to the Presidential Palace, he stated that the time has arrived to prove our words with actions. We should not rely only on conducting peace talks but rather to prove it pragmatically and strengthen it."

How about this:
I say we'll kiss the hand of each Afghan as he/she crosses the Durand Line back to the Watan where "Her Bache Kahramande". Even if we kiss just the right hand it will be over three million kisses -- pucker up those lips ?? anybody?
Or how about this:
we tally the bill Afghan drugs, weapons, prostitution, wars (inviting the Soviet Union to invade), refugees and other malfeasance have cost us Pakistanis and hand it to the Afghan nation -- As payment perhaps the Wakhan Corridor? with interest might even be Mes Aynak? Oh boy we'd better hurry -- there is going to be a long list of collectors.

Honestly I like the marg-bar Pokeston better -- kinda have grown attached to it -- Stockholm syndrome ?
