Islamabad highlights Taliban’s role in training militants and worsening humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday accused the Afghan Taliban regime of providing direct support to terrorist groups, warning that attacks launched from Afghan soil violate international law and threaten regional stability.
Speaking at a press conference, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said Pakistan has strongly responded to recent Afghan aggression, emphasizing that terrorist activities targeting the country continue despite repeated warnings and diplomatic efforts.
“The Afghan Taliban regime is backing terrorists and providing them training inside Afghanistan. Recent attacks in Pakistan originated from Afghan territory,” Tarar said, referencing incidents including attacks in Islamabad Katcheri and Taralai.
He also highlighted the worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, noting that women and children are deprived of basic rights, girls’ education is restricted, children are denied vaccinations, and kidnappings and harassment are widespread.
Tarar criticized the Taliban for enforcing governance through coercion and misusing religion for political purposes. “The Taliban have no right to oppress their own people. Afghanistan’s citizens currently lack fundamental freedoms, and international law is being repeatedly violated from Afghan soil,” he said.
Reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to regional peace, Tarar warned that continued militant activity from Afghanistan could prompt decisive responses.
