Afghanistan once again expressed its opposition to Pakistan's suggestion for fencing the border to stop cross border movements on Tuesday.

"Our stance is very clear from the beginning we are against separation of families along the border as inhabitants of both sides on the border have relationship to each other's and so, we are against erecting barriers," Presidential spokesman Mohammad Karim Rahimi told journalists.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam reportedly repeated Islamabad's proposal Monday to erect barbed wire along the border between the two neighboring countries in order to check the alleged militants' infiltration into Afghanistan.

Afghanistan says that Taliban's leaders have been living in Pakistan and Afghan President Hamid Karzai during his visit last month to Pakistan submitted a list of Taliban operatives including their chief Mullah Mohammad with their addresses there urging Pakistan to nab them.

Pakistani President General Pervez Musharaf who termed the list as outdated months back suggested to fence the border in order to stop cross border movement but his Afghan counterpart opposed it.

Islamabad has been repeatedly terming Kabul's accusation of supporting Taliban as baseless and rejects it.

"Afghanistan is against separation of the inhabitants on both sides of the border line," Presidential spokesman stressed.
