Who and why are harassing embassy staffs?

end of the day Pakistan has no need for Afghanistan so Afghan government is only hurting its citizen when they pull stunts like this. Clearly they do not care about their people..... puppet governments seldom do.

I don't expect this beghairat Imran Khan govt. to do anything I'm just telling what measures Pakistan can take, none is about closing embassy, very unlikely for this beghairat leader Imran Khan who sold KAshmir to Modi, read the bloody post again moron

Watch your mouth. Clearly Imran Khan and SMQ directed the embassy to be closed since thats literally their jobs, so like I said stop your whining.

Also please enlighten me on how Imran Khan has "sold Kashmir" to modi.

You have to study the historical context really to understand whats happening, but essentially the Afghan govt. has always has been hostile to Pakistan and its existence due to border disputes they had with the British (resolved with the Anglo-Afghan treaty which they refuse to recognise).

At the same time Afghanistan is significantly underedevloped in every single field compared to Pakistan, so all the consulates in Afghanistan are packed with Afghans trying to get visas for a variety of reasons (work, healthcare, education, safety, etc).

So working in such a busy environment on a daily basis embassy staff need to get to the embassy to carry out their work, yet are being stopped, followed, or harassed by NDS and ANP without reason. Since the Pakistan govt cant get any legitimate answers from the Afghan govt and believes they are being delibrately targeted they have decided to close down the embassy.

As for why, they may be trying to slow down embassy operations delibrately, trying to provoke Pakistan into taking offensive action, or maybe its the work of some rogue general/warlord which Afghanistan is overflowing with.

and kickout their embassy staff too

• Embassy said it was closing for an indefinite period.
  
• Foreign Office has lodged a protest with Afghan chargé d'affaires in Islamabad.

Pakistan has decided to shut down its embassy in Kabul for an indefinite period due to recent incident of harassment of its staff and officers.

The embassy said that it was halting its operations from Monday onwards for an indefinite period due to security reasons, local media reported. "Due to security reasons, Consular Section of the Embassy of Pakistan, Kabul will be closed from tomorrow Monday, 4th November, 2019 until further intimation," the statement by the embassy said.

On Sunday, the Foreign Office summoned Afghan chargé d'affaires in Islamabad to protest the harassment over the past two days of the staff of the Pakistan Embassy in Kabul and its sub-missions.

"The Afghan Cd'A was informed that the officers and staff of the embassy of Pakistan were being harassed over the past two days. They were obstructed on the road and the embassy vehicles were also hit by motorcycles while going towards the embassy," the FO statement read.

The statement continued that the chargé d'affaires was reminded that it is the responsibility of the Government of Afghanistan to ensure safety, security and freedom of movement to all members of the mission. He was also asked to convey to the authorities to 'immediately investigate these security violations and harassment incidents'.

Pakistan also requested the chargé d'affaires that a report in this regard be shared with Pakistan and that measures are taken to guard against the recurrence of such incidents in the future.

[Imran Khan]

good hope its not open again forever

 

[Clutch]

But unfortunately we don't have a leadership or govt. to protect Pakistani citizens' honour

When did we?... And can you please name that heroic leader you allude to?

NDS... Afgoon Intel

They'll open it again few days after pressure from beghairat pti govt. and traitor Shah Mehmood Qureshi, will get harassed and beaten, and so on. Afghans will mock and insult Pakistanis The cycle will continue just like the last many years.
Border crossings are still open. Just close them and transit trade, close airspace and then see Afghan govt. bending over backwards.

Or just block wheat trade into Afghanistan would help reduce food prices in Pakistan.

But unfortunately we don't have a leadership or govt. to protect Pakistani citizens' honour.

You do realise the embassy was shut down under FM Shah Qureshi's orders??..... i hope you also know this isnt the first time this has happened???

You do know many years ago afgoon mobs ran sacked our embassy??? do you remember which Beghairat gov. did it?.


for the record this government has far more self respect i have seen in a very long time

 

[Myth_buster_1]

gather all the harami afgonis from every corner of Pakistan and yes that also includes bastard childs and kick them out to great Afgonistan. Let the super power Afgonis take care of their rats.

It'd be easier to learn quantum physics than the history of middle eastern politics

All you need to worry about really is whats happening inside Syria, and whats going to happen with Iran. In the UK this is what the govt is focusing on alongside countering/containing Russia and China.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Wow IK wow!!!! You've done an act of the "British"-class "diplomacy"!!! Now, the Taliban are the counterparts of the Pak government vis-à-vis the Afgan affairs....
