The Pakistani intelligence is still supporting the insurgents, the US Democrat senator John McCain said
John McCain, the former candidate for the United States' presidential elections said Pakistan's intelligence is using the insurgency as a political tool to gain further influence in the region.
He also warned that the pull-out of foreign forces from Afghanistan before their withdrawal timeline will cause the insurgents to gain strength in the region.
The untimely withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan will also have a negative impact over relations between Washington and the New Delhi, Mr McCain said.
Meanwhile, the Deputy of the Afghan president's spokesperson, Siamak Herawi, said the untimely withdrawal of foreign forces can cause threats to the region.
"Undoubtedly, the situation in Afghanistan and in general the situation in the region will have a direct impact over India and other countries in the region," he said.
But some political analysts believe that the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan will have a positive impact over the situation in the country.
"If the international community once again hands over Afghanistan to Pakistan and would control the Afghan government through Pakistan, this will create tesions and India will react to it," Ahmad Zia Nikbin, a political analyst said.
The US president Barack Obama's advisors have stressed that the United States will remain a strategic partner of Afghanistan, but there is a strong need for a timeline for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan and to put pressure on the Afghan president Hamid Karzai to take Afghan security responsibilities soon.
