Amidst the increasing attacks from the border of Afghanistan and the security crisis, Pakistan’s tone has become more poisonous. On Wednesday (15 October 2025), Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that now it has become difficult to trust the Taliban government of Afghanistan. He claims that the recent decisions of the Taliban government are against the interests of Pakistan and India’s influence is clearly visible in them.
While talking to a Pakistani TV channel, Khawaja Asif said that terrorist attacks from Afghanistan are continuously increasing. According to him, in the last few months, terrorists have carried out several attacks on the border posts of Pakistan, but the Taliban government has not taken any concrete action against them. Pakistan says that it tried several times to talk to Afghanistan through diplomatic channels, but no satisfactory response was received from there.
working at the behest of India
Asif alleged that Taliban is now working at the behest of India. He claimed that Taliban is fighting India’s proxy war against Pakistan. Tension remains between Pakistan and Afghanistan over the presence of cross-border terrorism Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and refugee issues. After Taliban came to power, Pakistan thought that Afghanistan would understand its security concerns, but the opposite happened. TTP has again increased its activity in the tribal areas of Pakistan, due to which Islamabad’s concern has increased further. However, in the current conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan, dozens of people have died from both sides.
What is proxy war?
Proxy war is a war which is not fought directly by any country, but is fought by some other group or country. Simply put, the real fight is someone else’s, but a third party gets the benefit. Pakistan alleges that terrorist activities are increasing on Afghan soil, which is causing losses to them. Let us tell you that proxy war has been used many times in international politics, like during the Cold War, America and the Soviet Union fought wars in other countries through their respective supporters.
