Afghanistan's envoy to Pakistan, Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal, has rejected claims that the construction of a gate in Torkham was agreed upon with the Pakistani authorities.
His reaction came after a private TV channel tweeted that the agreement was reached during a meeting between Zakhilwal and Pakistani Army Chief General Raheel Sharif, reports Khamma Press.
Dubbing the reports as categorically false, the Afghan envoy said the currently planned gates that resulted in the ongoing tension in Torkham were brought to the discussion with his country's Ministry of Defence only two days ago in Torkham.
He added that Afghanistan then did not agree with the same, but the Pakistan Army went ahead to construct them anyway.
