Pakistan hails peace deal between Afghan Govt. and Hezb-i-Islami
Islamabad [Pakistan], Oct. 20 (ANI): A peace agreement signed between the Afghan Government and the Hezb-i-Islami militant group has been welcomed by Pakistan, the country's Foreign Office (FO) said on Thursday. FO spokesperson, while addressing a weekly briefing in Islamabad, reiterated that Pakistan desires peace in Afghanistan, reports the Dawn. Last month, Afghanistan had signed a peace agreement with notorious warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who heads the now largely dormant Hezb-i-Islami, paving way for him to make a political comeback despite a history of war crimes and after years of hiding. The deal with Afghanistan's second-biggest militant group has marked a symbolic victory for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who has struggled to revive peace talks with the Taliban. Hekmatyar, widely known as the "butcher of Kabul", was a prominent anti-Soviet commander in the 1980s who stands accused of killing thousands of people in the Afghan capital during the 1992-1996 civil war.

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
