After gaining blind support from India to criticise Pakistan, the fugitive YouTuber, now being backed by Afghanistan, as Afghan Media termed him an analyst to level false allegations on Pakistan and secure dollars from them.
Fugitive Adil Raja has settled in Afghanistan after previously aligning himself with India and has now emerged as its spokesperson in the Afghan media, promoting an anti-Pakistan narrative.
Once a controversial YouTuber, Adil Raja is now appearing in Afghan media programs to criticise Pakistan’s recent cross-border operations. His comments have sparked a strong reaction on social media. An Afghan news agency has presented him as an analyst on the platform X, stating that despite nearly 72 hours passing since Pakistan’s airstrikes, no verifiable evidence has been provided regarding the alleged targets. This statement has drawn significant backlash from Pakistani social media users.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s Ministry of Information has clarified that these operations were conducted in response to an increase in terrorist incidents. The ministry reported that, during the night from Saturday to Sunday, Pakistan targeted seven hideouts of militants affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the border areas of Afghanistan. Furthermore, the ministry asserted that these were intelligence-based operations, claiming that there is conclusive evidence linking the recent terrorist attacks in Islamabad, Bajaur, and Bannu to the leadership and operatives based in Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials emphasised that Adil Raja continues to spread negativity against the Pakistani government and military while defending the Afghan government’s actions in Afghanistan instead of condemning the attacks by Afghan terrorists within Pakistan.
