ISLAMABAD: Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has accused the Taliban of turning Afghanistan into a “colony of India”, which shows their increasing connection with India and their function as an Indian proxy group.
Asif made a declaration through social media platforms which showed that Pakistani Armed Forces execute a powerful and definitive attack which responds to Taliban assaults that he said India supports.
نیٹو کی افواج کے انخلاء کے بعد یہ توقع کی جاتی تھی کہ افغانستان میں امن ھو گا اور طالبان افغانُ عوام کے مفادات اور علاقہ میں امن پہ توجہ مرکوز کریںُ گے۔مگر طالبان نے افغانستان کو ھندوستان کی کالونی بنا دیا۔ ساری دنیا کے دھشت گردوں کا افغانستان میں اکٹھا کر لیا اور دھشت گردی کو…

Asif expressed disappointment that NATO forces did not maintain their presence in Afghanistan because people expected the Taliban to pursue maintenance of peace and protection of national interests and improvement of regional stability. The Taliban did not meet these requirements because they let Afghanistan develop into a global terrorism centre which attracts terrorists from all parts of the world.
Asif described the situation by saying that The Taliban has gathered the world’s terrorists in Afghanistan and began exporting terrorism to other countries. “The Taliban has taken away all human rights from their citizens while they have stripped Muslim women of their rights which Islam grants them.”
Asif pointed out that Pakistan actively works to achieve regional stability through its diplomatic activities and its partnerships with foreign nations. He claimed that the Taliban now serves as an instrument which enables Indian powers to control Pakistan. The Taliban’s increasing hostile actions against Pakistan led to an immediate and decisive military response which Pakistani forces executed according to Asif.
The Defense Minister stated that the Pakistani military operates through the commitment of its courageous soldiers who happen to reside in close proximity to Afghanistan. “We know your capabilities and we have shown patience, but that patience has now reached its limit,” he stated.
The Defense Minister further added that the Pakistani military is not some foreign force but is composed of brave soldiers who are neighbours of Afghanistan. “We know your capabilities and we have shown patience, but that patience has now reached its limit,” he stated. “This is now an open war between us, and we will defend our land at all costs. The time for action is here.”
