Kabul, Sep 23 (NVI) Pakistani military demonstrates its hate for Afghans in a number of ways, one of which is to hurt its economy.
An example of this is the closure of Torkhan border by Pakistan during the fruit season in Afghanistan to disrupt supplies and spoil the products.
Pakistan has done it in the past and it has done it again now, according to sources.
Torkham is a major trade route between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Pakistan has closed the Torkham crossing point without any justification, rendering hundreds of trucks carrying fresh fruits from Afghanistan stranded.
It is well known that fresh fruits get spoiled and become useless if there is a delay in delivering these to the market.
Pakistan, therefore, seems to be deliberately closing the trading route, a move that hurts Afghanistan’s economy.
Moreover, Pakistani authorities ill-treat Afghan drivers and others at this border, often beating them and extorting money.
Because of such actions of Pakistani authorities, there is growing anger in Afghanistan towards Pakistan. (NVI)
