The ongoing peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Turkey remained inconclusive, after which Pakistan resorted to threats. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif threatened Afghanistan and described it as a ‘graveyard’. Asif said that whenever Pakistan wants, it will push Taliban to hide in the hills of Tora-Bora. Pak Defense Minister said that on repeated appeals of brotherly countries, Pakistan had come for peace talks, but the ‘malignant rhetoric’ of Afghan officials continued.
Open warning given to Taliban
Khawaja Asif said that Pakistan will not need to make full use of its weapons to completely remove the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. If necessary, the Afghan Taliban will be defeated again and sent to Tora Bora. He also said that if Taliban’s name figures in any terrorist attack or suicide blast in Pakistan, then the Afghan Taliban will have to bear the ‘bitter consequences’.
What allegations did Taliban make against PAK?
A day earlier, in a conversation with retired Pakistani Army Major Adil Raja on Tuesday, Qari Saeed Khoshati, advisor to the Culture Ministry of the Afghan Taliban government and a senior member of the Haqqani network, had alleged that Pakistan attacked Afghanistan because Afghan Foreign Minister Aamir Khan Muttaki was in India at that time. According to him, some rulers of Pakistan do not want Afghanistan to have good relations with India for decades.
Afghanistan accused ISI
Afghan officials also alleged that the responsibility for the failure of talks in Turkey rested on Major General Shahab Aslam, the special operations chief of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI, who was leading the Pakistani delegation. Afghans say that Shahab Aslam spoke in a threatening tone during the talks and ISI was pressurizing the Afghan representatives to accept the conditions for settling Pakistan’s terrorist groups in Afghan territory and allowing Pakistan to operate in Afghan territory.
