Pakistan Defense Minister: We will act against Taliban like India

Pakistan's Defense Minister claimed that India is advancing a "proxy war" against Pakistan through the Afghan Taliban and militant groups. He accused the Taliban of ingratitude, noting that Islamabad had supported the group in the past; however, the Taliban are now facilitating attacks against Pakistan instead of cooperating.


These remarks come as relations between the Taliban and Pakistan have become highly strained in recent months. Pakistani officials have repeatedly accused the Taliban of allowing fighters from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Baloch groups to operate from Afghan soil; however, the Taliban have rejected these allegations and stated that they are not responsible for insecurity within Pakistan.


Following the May 9 attack on the police outpost in Bano, which resulted in the deaths of 15 Pakistani security personnel, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry summoned the Taliban's chargé d'affaires in Islamabad and delivered a letter of protest to him. Pakistan claims that the attack was planned inside Afghanistan and, based on intelligence information, its perpetrators are present in Afghanistan.


Meanwhile, Pakistani officials have emphasized that relations between the two sides will not normalize until the Taliban take action against TTP forces and other armed groups. At the same time, China is working to bring practical results to dialogue between the Taliban and Pakistan through the Urumqi process and has stressed the importance of regional cooperation for ensuring security.

Khawaja Asif, Pakistan's Defense Minister, has warned that Islamabad may launch a large-scale operation against the Afghan Taliban in response to the recent militant attack on a police outpost in the Bano district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He stated that Pakistan will adopt the same approach against the Afghan Taliban that it employed last year in its conflict with India.
