Pakistan’s military spokesperson, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said that individuals currently in Afghanistan are not Pakistani refugees but fugitive terrorists who fled during counterterrorism operations. He warned that the nexus between political elements, terrorists, and criminal networks remains the biggest obstacle to Pakistan’s war on terror, calling for unified national efforts to dismantle these connections and restore lasting peace.

افغانستان میں موجود افراد پاکستانی مہاجرین نہیں بلکہ وہ دہشت گرد ہیں جو انسدادِ دہشت گردی کی کارروائیوں کے بعد وہاں روپوش ہو گئے۔ دہشت گردی کے خلاف جنگ میں سب سے بڑی رکاوٹ کچھ سیاسی عناصر اور مجرمانہ نیٹ ورکس کا باہمی گٹھ جوڑ ہے۔

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has accused Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government of supporting terrorism under Indian patronage and spreading false narratives to conceal its internal divisions and governance failures. Speaking through an official statement on X, Asif said there is complete consensus among Pakistan’s political and military leadership on security and foreign policy toward Afghanistan, emphasising that Islamabad’s approach remains rooted in peace, stability, and the national interest.

افغان حکومت بھارتی سرپرستی میں دہشتگردی کی پشت پناہی کر رہی ہے، افغان حکومت اپنی ناکامیوں اور داخلی عدم استحکام پر پردہ ڈالنے کیلئے بیرونی ایجنڈے کو آگے بڑھا رہی ہے، پاکستان خطہ میں قیامِ امن استحکام کیلئے پُرعزم اور دہشتگردی کے خلاف متحد ہے۔

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned that Islamabad possesses the capability to push the Taliban “back into the caves” if provoked, asserting that even a fraction of Pakistan’s military strength could dismantle the regime. He said Pakistan chose dialogue for peace at the request of allied Islamic nations but cautioned that any act of terrorism or aggression from Afghan soil would meet a decisive response.
