The Afghan embassy and consulates in Pakistan strongly condemned this violation of diplomatic laws and consular missions in Pakistan said, “While the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs is following the matter with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, we urge the Pakistani government to identify and prosecute the perpetrators at the soonest possible time.”
My silence on abduction of Afgh ambassador's daughter in Islamabad is questioned by many. This isn't the first case but the first spectacular case involving a lady. Harassment of diplmts/local staff with integrity who reject collaboration is in the menu of Islambad agencies.

This incident of kidnapping happened after Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani accused Pakistan of supporting the Taliban and and said, “more than 10,000 jihadi fighters” have entered Afghanistan from Pakistan in the last month, and that Islamabad had failed to convince the Taliban to participate “seriously” in the peace talks which Imran Khan called “unfair” to blame Pakistan for the situation in Afghanistan.
