Pakistan has expressed dismay over the allegations by certain Afghan officials seeking to link Pakistan security personnel with the armed clashes in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said, “We reject these allegations as completely baseless.”

The spokesperson said that at a time when Pakistan is engaged in serious efforts with Afghanistan to address mutual challenges, it is imperative to refrain from making comments that would “detract us from our attempts to indulge in positive and productive engagement”.
