EXPLAINED: Why India's Bid To Send 50K Tonnes Of Wheat To Afghanistan Has Hit A Pakistan Hurdle

News 18  

Afghanistan is facing one of the worst food crises anywhere in the world with millions on the brink of starvation. In response to calls for immediate and urgen help, India came forward in early October to send 50,000 tonnes of wheat to Afghanistan, seeking Pakistan’s permission to dispatch the consignment using the land route via the Wagah-Attari border near Amritsar in Punjab. The first public mention of India’s request from Pakistan, in fact, came when Pakistan PM Imran Khan met the Taliban government’s acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in early November ahead of a security conference on Afghanistan. “The prime minister conveyed that in the current context Pakistan would favourably consider the request by Afghan brothers for transportation of wheat offered by India through Pakistan on exceptional basis for humanitarian purposes and as per modalities to be worked out,” Islamabad said in an official release following the meeting with Muttaqi. The same report added that an Afghan foreign ministry spokesperson had “claimed that the prime minister of Pakistan allowed India to send wheat to Afghanistan via Wagah border”.
