KABUL: Pakistan has said that terrorist groups associated with Indian proxy Fitna al Khawarij, operating from Afghanistan, are causing instability in the country.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is on a visit to Afghanistan to discuss cross-border terrorism, met with his Afghan counterpart Sirajuddin Haqqani in Kabul.
During the meeting, Mohsin Naqvi urged the urgent need for joint efforts to counter terrorist groups that are fueling regional instability.
Both sides actively discussed counterterrorism cooperation, border management, drug trafficking, and the repatriation of undocumented Afghan nationals.
The meeting followed a deadly terrorist attack in Mir Ali, North Waziristan. The Pakistani delegation raised serious concerns about cross-border threats.
Haqqani stressed the importance of building mutual trust to resolve issues between the two neighboring Muslim countries.
The Indian proxy Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has continuously carrying cross-border attacks from Afghan soil, targeting Pakistani security forces and civilians in border regions like North Waziristan, Bajaur, and Khyber. These attacks have led to numerous casualties and heightened regional instability.
Pakistan has repeatedly expressed its concerns to the interim Afghan government, asking it to stop TTP using Afghan territory as a safe haven to regroup and launch terror attacks.
Islamabad has formally conveyed its concerns to Kabul over two dozen times through diplomatic channels, intelligence sharing, and high-level meetings.
Pakistan has urged the Afghan Taliban to honour their Doha Agreement commitment by ensuring Afghan soil is not used for terrorism against any country.
