General (retd) Hameed Gul: “Afghanistan and Pakistan are two faces of one soul”

Gernal sab -- braya mehrabanee aap bhi Durand line kay doosari taraf tashreef lay jaa-`iya.

Interview on The News here, excerpts below:

TNS: Do you think the military establishment and civilian government are on the same page on Afghanistan?

HG: I would only say (without elaborating) that one out of two Sharifs (Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff, Raheel Sharif) has succeeded.

...

TNS: Why does Indian presence in Afghanistan bother Pakistan?

HG: Indians have been supporting the Afghan intelligence agency. They have been able to create problems for Pakistan in Balochistan while sitting in Afghanistan. Colonel Imam was martyred by Hakeemullah Mehsud under the Indian pressure. India’s increasing influence in Afghanistan was very unnatural and against the history of the region. India needs to understand that its space in Afghanistan has already shrunk. Narendra Modi is getting aggressive because he knows that he has been losing space in Afghanistan. This shows his frustration.

Your anti-Afghan agenda is getting quite old, especially now with relations finally improving after a decade of bastard Karzai. Right now it seem Pak-Afghan relations are improving at much faster rate then anyone imagined 3-4 months ago.

Your personal experiences with Afghanis mean jack shit in over all context. Especially when in same post you say we should improve relations with India and forget about Kashmiri muslims.

Turn Pakistan into afghanistan or afghanistan become a part of Pakistan.:D

I don't see it happening. Because Afghan pashtuns only make 40% of Afghanistan population, 13 million. By some estimates 3-4 million Afghan pashtuns already live in Pakistan (so around 9 million in Afghanistan). And other ethnic groups in Afghanistan have no reason to join Pakistan.

No we are not...

If you have two Pashtun presidents in Kabul and Islamabad than it is technically two faces of one soul literally.. The statement is absolutely correct even the Pakistani nuclear program was developed by Pashtuns... It is technically as he said two faces with one soul
