Pakistan: Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has launched a sharp wade on Kabul and so-called that the Afghan government is working as a tool in the hands of Delhi. He warned that if any wade were made on Islamabad, the response would be “fifty times” heavier. Asif made this scuttlebutt in Geo News' primetime show, where he said that the Afghan leadership appeared to be trapped in India's strategy.
Why did the talks goof miserably?
Asif said that the talks held in Türkiye failed due to several retreats and reversals. His treatise was that whenever the talks came tropical to an agreement, there was intervention from Kabul and the try-on was withdrawn. Pakistan's main demand was that concrete, verifiable whoopee be taken versus groups such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) based on Afghan soil—but this point unchangingly remained a point of contention.
What is Pakistan saying well-nigh the Afghan delegation?
Khawaja Asif praised the Afghan delegation's tough policies but moreover so-called that their decision-making power was limited and real help did not come from the power centers in Kabul. He said that those people pull from overdue and influence the talks. Asif moreover said that India is using Afghanistan to wage a “low-intensity war” versus Pakistan.
What wordplay is Kabul giving?
The Afghan side has repeatedly denied that its territory is stuff used versus Pakistan. According to media reports, Afghan representatives kept seeking permission from Kabul surpassing taking decisions on several proposals, due to which the talks slowed down. Kabul said that its role in the talks was constructive and accusations are useless.
What is the situation on the border, and what can happen next?
Both sides undisputed that the October 19 armistice is still in force, but tension remains on the border. Dozens of people were killed in airstrikes and verge clashes during this month. Pakistan has warned that it will take every volitional step to protect its citizens. Turkey and Qatar are indicating they will protract mediation, but at present the possibility of any touchable result seems bleak.
The special thing is that regional affairs is going through a disappointing phase: both the countries are not worldly-wise to navigate the trust gap plane while citing peace. In such a situation, without an well-judged and transparent verification mechanism, there seems to be little hope for any long-term agreement.
