Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Saturday (1 November 2025) that his country is currently in a state of two-front war. He said that India is trying to entangle Pakistan on both the eastern and western borders so that its military and economic strength gets weakened. This statement has come at a time when recently there were violent clashes on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan and with the mediation of Qatar and Turkey, both the countries agreed to a temporary ceasefire.
Making serious allegations against India, Asif said that New Delhi has been using Afghanistan for a proxy war for a long time. He said that since the reign of Ashraf Ghani, India has been carrying out attacks against Pakistan from behind the scenes. Now we have concrete evidence of this, which will be presented when the time comes. He claimed that the current Taliban government is also working under the influence of India and said that whatever is happening in Kabul, the remote is in the hands of Delhi.
Recent clashes and echoes of Operation Sindoor
After the recent firing on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, relations between the two countries have become more tense. In talks held in Istanbul mediated by Türkiye and Qatar, both sides agreed to a ceasefire, but tension still remains on the border. Taking aim at India, Khawaja Asif said that it can take advantage of this opportunity and play some dirty trick on the eastern border. He said that Pakistan is fully prepared for every challenge. His statement has come after Operation Sindoor, when in May 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India took action against terrorist bases located in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and across the border.
Why did relations with Afghanistan deteriorate?
For the last few months, relations between Islamabad and Kabul have been continuously deteriorating. Pakistan says that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists are carrying out attacks from across the Afghan border, while the Taliban government says that Pakistan is putting the responsibility of its failed security policies on it.
