Amritsar, Dec 4 (IBNS): Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on Sunday targeted Pakistan over terrorism in his country saying the $500 million promised by Islamabad for the reconstruction of Afghanistan would be better used in combating extremism.

"We need intense dialogue & engagement; I, therefore, conclude with proposing the following: First, to tackle criminal economics, we need to convene at the Asian and regional way and document who benefits from producing, processing, trafficking and consuming; this requires," Ghani said at the  Heart of Asia conference here.

"An international effort without blame game to be able to uproot the basis of this phenomenon," he said.

Ghani said: "We propose an Asian and international regime. Whatever is accepted, particularly, to our neighbor Pakistan to verify cross-frontier activities. We do not want blame game. We want verification."

"There is need for a fund to combat extremism. Pakistan has generously pledged $ 500million for reconstruction of AFG. This fund could very well be used for containing extremism because without peace any amount of assistance will not meet the needs of our people," he said.

Earlier, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi  said the gathering at the Heart of Asia conference is to re-affirm the commitment of the international community to durable peace and lasting political stability in Afghanistan which is now facing gravest threat of terrorism and externally induced instability.

"Terrorism and externally induced instability pose the gravest threat to Afghanistan’s peace, stability and prosperity. And, the growing arc of terrorist violence endangers our entire region. As such, support for voices of peace in Afghanistan alone is not enough," said Prime Minister Modi at the Sixth Ministerial Conference of the Heart of Asia Istanbul Process on Afghanistan addressing among others Afghanistan President  Ashraf Ghani..

"It must be backed by resolute action. Not just against forces of terrorism, but also against those who support, shelter, train and finance them."
