Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has allegedly directed his cabinet ministers to refrain from commenting on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, describing it as a “sensitive matter”.
PM Khan on Friday, reportedly said “not all the ministers should speak on the subject on any platform, including media. Only the ministers concerned are authorised to make statements on the current situation in Afghanistan.’’
Khan’s reported decision came against the backdrop of the fallen Afghan government accusing Pakistan of supporting the Islamist group.
