Islamabad, Sept 24 (ANI): Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, has said US' top military officer Admiral Mike Mullen's accusation that Pakistan's intelligence agency is exporting violence through the Haqqani network, is baseless.
Terming such accusations as very unfortunate, Kayani said that this is especially disturbing in view of a rather constructive meeting with Admiral Mullen in Spain, The News reports.
Referring to Pakistan's alleged special connection with Haqqanis, the COAS said in a statement that Mullen knows exactly which all countries are in contact with the terror group, and therefore, singling out Pakistan is neither fair nor productive.
"Categorically denying the accusations of proxy war and ISI support to Haqqanis, the COAS wished that, the blame game in public statements should give way to a constructive and meaningful engagement for a stable and peaceful Afghanistan, an objective to which Pakistan is fully committed," the statement added.
Admiral Mullen had yesterday said that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was actively supporting the network linked to al Qaeda, and blamed it for an assault on the US embassy in Kabul last week. (ANI)
