Karzai condemns Pakistan’s artillery shelling inside Afghanistan  

ATLANTA (Pajhwok): Former President Hamid Karzai has strongly condemned Pakistani forces artillery shelling into the Barmal district of southeastern Paktika province, according to a statement on Friday.

In a statement, the former president’s office, said artillery shelling by Pakistani forces into Afghan territory was a clear invasion of the Afghan soil and in contradiction with international values and norms.

He called on the Pakistani authorities to change their policy towards Afghanistan and adopt the policy of brotherhood and good neighborhoods instead of supporting extremism and violence.
