ISLAMABAD: In the wake of recent comments by Afghan leaders, Pakistan has postponed its scholarship programme for Afghanistan.

“Pakistan has temporarily delayed scholarships for Afghan students due to security reasons,” spokesperson for the Pakistani Embassy in Kabul said on Wednesday.

Upto 6,000 students had applied for the Pakistani scholarships this year and all were scheduled to appear for the test, Akhtar Munir said.

“Since thousands had applied and it was difficult to arrange the English test in the current security situation, we have delayed it for some time,” the spokesperson added. “We will inform the applicants and will also post on the embassy’s website once the process resumes,” he said.
