[GEO.TV] Taliban![]() students... administration in Kabul on Wednesday said that they strongly condemn Pakistain's threat to forcibly expel illegal Afghan im Pakistain's caretaker government had set a November 1 deadline for approximately 1.73 million Afghan im Zabihullah Mujahid, the front man for the Taliban administration in Kabul, expressed their disapproval on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). He emphasised that Afghans should not be held responsible for Pakistain's security issues. Pakistain's Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti had alleged that Afghan nationals were responsible for 14 out of 24 suicide kabooms in Pakistain this year, using this as a justification for the crackdown. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... the Taliban front man rebuffed this claim, asserting, "The Pak side should reconsider its plan. Afghan refugees are not involved in Pakistain's security problems. As long as they leave Pakistain voluntarily, that country should tolerate them." The ultimatum issued by Pakistain to Afghan im Bugti alleged that one of the jacket wallahs was an Afghan national and also accused India's intelligence agency of involvement. Relations between the Taliban and the Pakistain government have deteriorated, with border festivities leading to the temporary closure of the main trade route between the two countries last month. |
