During a recent press briefing in Kabul on Saturday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai lashed out at Pakistan for allegedly violating the Afghan sovereignty with border skirmishes. The President was specifically referring to the clashes between Afghan and Pakistani security forces in Goshta district (Nangarhar province).
"Pakistan could never force Afghanistan into recognising the British-mandated Durand Line with border skirmishes", he said.
"The neighbour should stop thinking that it could coerce Afghanistan into negotiations on the Durand Line issue".
Calling the exchange of heavy gunfire at the border checkposts "a coincidence", the President stated with firmness that he had "not ordered the clash".
