Only Afghanistan has made allegations and this is nothing new. They keep saying such things,” he said.
Munira Karam said that India does not want peace in Afghanistan because if peace comes in Afghanistan then India will not be able to carry out terrorism from Afghanistan so they want to sabotage the Afghan peace process.

“We are clear on our goals and now we are trying to work with the United States, Russia and China to bring peace to Afghanistan,” he said.
