America’s big think tank Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has warned that after Operation Sindoor, there could be another war between India and Pakistan in the year 2026. The report claims that due to increase in terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, there is a possibility of war between the two countries. According to Indian intelligence agency, more than 30 Pakistani terrorists are active in Jammu region in this winter.

American think tank’s claim regarding India-Pakistan war

CFR said that if there is a war between India and Pakistan, it can affect America as well. India had launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025 in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22 April. Under this, the Indian Army targeted the hideouts of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). After this, the Indian Air Force (IAF) also wreaked havoc on the Pakistani army which had come to help the terrorists. IAF destroyed many airbases of Pakistani Air Force.

India is increasing its stockpile of weapons

However, there has been no major terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir since Operation Sindoor. Currently, ceasefire is going on between the two countries and in such a situation, India is further strengthening its weapons arsenal. The Defense Ministry has approved the purchase of various ammunition and military equipment including missiles, rockets and drones worth Rs 79 thousand crore for the three forces. These include Loitering Munition and Pinaka Rocket for the Army and Astra Missile and Spice-1000 Bomb for the Air Force. Approval has also been given to lease additional High Altitude Long Range (HALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System for the Navy.

‘Pakistan-Afghanistan war also possible next year’

After the huge losses suffered after Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has also started talks with Turkey and China for the purchase of new drones and air defense systems. The report has also expressed the possibility of conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the year 2026. However, this will not affect American interests. In October this year, there was a fierce clash between Pakistan and Taliban on the 2600 km long Durand Line. The armies of both the countries fired in each other’s areas and claimed to destroy the posts. Since then there has been a rift in diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The CFR report is based on a survey of American foreign policy experts. It includes former diplomats, military officers, professors and policy experts. Its purpose is to make American policy-makers aware of those areas of the world where wars may break out in the future.

Millions of people are currently struggling in Afghanistan. Where the only means of survival was human help, that too is slowly ending. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in 2025, about 2.29 crore population of Afghanistan, i.e. about half of the country’s population, will need some form of humanitarian assistance. This means that crores of people cannot feed themselves without outside help. The problem is that international funding has been drastically cut. Many countries including America have reduced aid, due to which organizations like the World Food Program are also forced to work with limited resources.

The United Nations food program has warned that about 17 million Afghans are facing severe hunger this winter. This number is more than 30 lakh from last year. Cold, unemployment and inflation have made the situation even worse. The country is already struggling with a weak economy. On top of that, drought, earthquake and return of lakhs of refugees from neighboring countries have made the situation explosive. Resources for food, shelter and treatment are falling short.

interruption of international aid

A senior UN official recently said that this is the first time in many years that there has been almost no international food distribution in winter. While last year help had reached lakhs of people, this year only a few families could get relief. According to him, only 10 lakh people received food assistance in 2025, whereas in 2024 this assistance reached 56 lakh people. Due to lack of funds, the UN will focus only on 39 lakh most needy people in 2026.

Burden increased due to return of 71 lakh refugees

According to Afghanistan’s Refugee Affairs Minister Abdul Kabir, 71 lakh Afghan refugees have returned to the country in the last four years. Rahimullah is also one of them. He was earlier in the Afghan army. He fled to Pakistan after the Taliban came to power in 2021, but was deported after two years.

Despite more than 1 million people returning home from Pakistan by 2025, more than 2 million Afghan refugees are still living there. ‘Dawn’ newspaper has given this report quoting data from the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHRC).

‘Dawn’ newspaper quoted agency data as saying that in the month of November alone, 1,71,055 Afghan citizens returned to their country, out of which 37,899 were deported through Chaman, Torkham and Barabacha borders. In the same month, more than 31,500 ‘Proof of Registration’ (POR) cardholders were also repatriated to Afghanistan through UNHCR’s repatriation centres.

In November, increased tension along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border hampered humanitarian aid operations and cross-border movement remained restricted. Due to this, United Nations agencies had to temporarily withdraw from the Chaman border area.

Despite stringent implementation of the third phase of the ‘Illegal Foreign Repatriation Plan’ (IFRP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), UNHCR and its partners ensured essential services. These include the restoration of safe spaces for women, girls and children, as well as continuing legal and mental health support.

The Pakistan government started the IFRP scheme in September 2023, after which the return of Afghans started on a large scale. Undocumented Afghans and ‘Afghan Citizenship Card’ holders were targeted in the first (September 2023) and second (April 2025) phases of the plan. By July 2025, more than 11 lakh Afghans had returned from urban areas and refugee villages under these phases.

So far, about 1.66 lakh ‘POR’ cardholders have returned in the third phase, which started in September 2025. Since the beginning of the scheme, a total of more than 18.2 lakh Afghans have returned home. A total of 171,055 Afghans returned home during November this year, including 37,899 officially registered deportation cases.

The government has canceled official recognition of all 54 refugee villages in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Punjab provinces and is continuously urging Afghans to return to their country. Meanwhile, UNHCR is lobbying the government to exempt students enrolled in universities from the scheme. Although no formal policy has been issued yet for students, currently university students are being exempted from this process.

21 gun salute in Pakistan… What did Asim Munir whisper in UAE President’s ear as soon as he got off the plane and immediately hugged him?

The Pakistani government has been stunned by the questions of Pakistani leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman. Maulana asked questions to Army Chief Asim Munir regarding the strike by Afghanistan and India. Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who reached Lyari in Karachi, asked Pakistani generals and leaders on December 21 that if you justify your attack on Kabul, then what wrong did India do by attacking Muridke and Bahawalpur (Operation Sindoor)?

These questions of Maulana Fazlur Rehman have created an earthquake in the politics of Pakistan. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif is now seen giving clarification on this. He termed the comparison between Islamabad’s action against Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the unprovoked action taken by India against Pakistan in May as wrong and unfair. Khawaja Asif said that our action and India’s attack are not the same and cannot be compared.

Khawaja Asif said in a post on

Khawaja Asif shaken by Fazlur Rehman’s questions
Without giving a direct answer to Fazlur Rehman’s questions, the Pakistani Defense Minister, reportedly referring to a UN report, said that the report released by the UN also makes it clear that the Indian attack was illegal and without evidence and Pakistan’s response was completely correct. He said that the international community and the United Nations are also concerned about terrorism under the rule of Afghan Taliban and said that the presence of terrorist organizations and terrorists infiltrating into Pakistan is a clear proof of this.

‘The government of Afghanistan is pro India’
In recent times, there has been tension in Pakistan’s relations with Afghanistan, because Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan remains the main cause of dispute between the two countries. Pakistan has demanded that the rulers of Kabul take action to stop cross-border terrorism. The Afghan Taliban has denied Islamabad’s allegations that terrorists are being allowed to use Afghan soil to carry out attacks in Pakistan. Maulana Fazlur Rehman had said in Lyari on December 21 that Pakistan wants an Afghanistan which is pro-Pakistan but the government of Afghanistan from Zahir Shah to Ashraf Ghani is pro India, not pro Pakistan. This has been happening continuously.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, a big face of Pakistan’s politics and President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazal), has shown a mirror to Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir. He has said that when you can justify it by attacking the bases of your enemies, then how did India go wrong when it destroyed the bases of those who attacked its own people.

On December 21, at the Tahafuz Deeniya Madaris Conference in Lyari, Karachi, he spoke on India and Afghanistan and asked questions to Army Chief Asim Munir. He said, ‘My question is, if you say that we have struck the Markaz of our enemy and you call it a justified statement. So if India tells you that I have attacked in Bahawalpur, I have attacked in Muridke and I have attacked the Markaz of those who took action against us in Kashmir, then why are you objecting to that.

Fazlur Rehman said that if you are objecting then this is your allegation against Afghanistan. How are you creating conflict between the two? If you justify your action on Afghanistan and if you say so, then how will you call India’s action wrong?

He said that when you bomb Kabul, it is like someone bombing your Islamabad. Raising questions on Pakistani Army, he said that how can Taliban tolerate bombing of Kabul.

On Asim Munir’s policy regarding Afghanistan, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that Pakistan wants an Afghanistan which is pro-Pakistan, but the government of Afghanistan from Zahir Shah to Ashraf Ghani is pro India, not pro Pakistan. This has been happening continuously.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that we should talk about the Afghan policy of 78 years. Pakistan has never had a friendly government in Afghanistan, could this be a failure of our own policy? He said that if we create a story, we will definitely blame the other side, but we should also look at ourselves and ask whether our Afghan policy has failed. This should be a matter of debate.

Fazlur Rehman has asked these questions regarding the military conflict with India in May. After the Pahalgam terrorist attack of 22 April, India had launched Operation Sindoor against the terrorist organizations present in Pakistan. By launching the operation on the night of 6th May, Indian Army had destroyed nine terrorist hideouts, after which Pakistan also tried to target Indian military bases, in which it could not succeed.

Afghanistan’s star cricketer Rashid Khan is counted among the best T20 leg spinners in the world. As dangerous as his bowling is on the field, his personal life is equally challenging. While popularity is an achievement for most players, for Rashid this fame has brought many restrictions.

Made a surprising revelation in a conversation with Kevin Pietersen

Recently, during a conversation with former England captain Kevin Pietersen, Rashid Khan shared a shocking aspect of his life. Peterson asked him if he could roam the streets of Kabul like ordinary people. To this Rashid clearly replied, “No.”

Rashid Khan told that in Afghanistan he has to travel in a bulletproof car. This is not a luxury or status symbol, but is very important for their safety. According to him, being in the “wrong place at the wrong time” in a country with conditions like Afghanistan can prove dangerous.

Security is a common thing in Afghanistan

The most surprising thing in this conversation was that Rashid Khan described this kind of security arrangement as “normal”. While Kevin Pietersen was surprised to hear this, Rashid said in a very calm manner that many people in Afghanistan live in such conditions and this is the truth there.

Popularity became a reason for danger

Rashid Khan is one of the most famous citizens of Afghanistan today. He is recognized at the international level because of playing in IPL, BBL and other big T20 leagues of the world. Due to this popularity, he may become the target of anti-social and political elements.

Although Rashid Khan cannot roam freely in his own city, the pride in his heart for his country has not diminished at all. He tries to make Afghanistan proud in every match and remains an inspiration for the youth of the country.

The Trump administration in America is going to make its policies more strict regarding immigrants. The US administration is preparing to intensify the immigration crackdown in the year 2026. The Trump administration is now preparing to raid workplaces as well. According to a Reuters report, Congress approved a major spending package in July, under which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol will receive additional funding of $ 170 billion by September 2029. This huge amount is many times more than their current annual budget of $19 billion.

Officials say this money will be used to recruit thousands of new agents, open new detention centers and pick up migrants from jails. Help of external companies will also be taken to track undocumented people. Federal agents raided several large businesses this year. Places like farms and factories were kept out of it till now.

Trump’s popularity also affected
White House ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has made it clear that this concession is about to end. Homan said that I think next year we will see a huge jump in the figures. This will also fully include action at workplaces. Let us tell you that these strict policies of American President Trump are also affecting his popularity. Trump’s approval rating on immigration policy was 50 percent in March, which has fallen to 41 percent by mid-December.

There was a promise to evacuate 10 lakh migrants every year
Trump had promised to expel 1 million immigrants every year. About 6,22,000 migrants have been deported since January 2025. Government figures expose Trump’s claim that he only talks about expelling criminals. Of the 54,000 people arrested by ICE by the end of November, 41 percent had no previous criminal record, compared to just 6 percent in January, before Trump came to power.

Temporary legal status of thousands of migrants also taken away
Interestingly, the Trump administration is targeting not only illegal immigrants but also people living legally. According to reports, spouses of American citizens were arrested during their green card interviews. Thousands of immigrants from Haiti, Venezuela and Afghanistan have also been stripped of their temporary legal status. Experts believe that if there are raids at work places, labor costs will increase. Due to this, it will be difficult to control inflation in America.
