Latest stories about Taliban

Pakistan’s new Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has tied the future of relations with Kabul to the fate of the TTP, warning Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers that they must choose between partnership with Islamabad or continued tolerance of Pakistani Taliban networks on Afghan soil, as a powerful new tri service command comes online in Rawalpindi.

ٹی ٹی پی (کالعدم تحریکِ طالبان پاکستان) افغان سرزمین کو پاکستان پر حملوں کیلئے استعمال کر رہی ہے جبکہ اسے افغان عبوری حکومت کی لاجسٹک اور مالی معاونت حاصل ہے، یہ گروہ خطہ کیلئے ایک سنگین خطرہ ہے۔

Kabul’s protection of TTP commanders is not a glitch in the system; it is the system, a living covenant that weighs more than any clause signed in Doha. The Taliban in Afghanistan are no longer guests or leverage to be casually traded away; they have hardened into a parallel sovereignty that Kabul cannot fully control.

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.

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.
