KABUL - Afghanistan and Afghan people will be standing with Pakistan and their Pakistani brethren if any one including US and India attacked Pakistan, President Hamid Karzai told a local private TV channel, during an interview. Karzai said that no one including US, India and China could incite Afghanistan and Afghan people against Pakistan. He said if Pakistan was attacked even by US or India, Afghanistan will support Pakistan.

He said that though they had complaints against Pakistani establishment, but they (Afghanis) could not forget the hospitality, brotherhood and support the Pakistani brethren extended to them during their exile during the Afghan war.

Regarding his recent visit to India during which Afghanistan signed strategic partnership pact with India, he said that it had nothing to do with the recent stained relations between Pakistan and US, saying that the visit had long been planned before the recent Pak-US tension. (Agencies)
