Why did the staunch supporter of Taliban enter the ‘war’ now? Know the bitter truth of Afghan-Pak relations…

The tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan has now moved beyond dispute to open confrontation. Recently, the Pakistani military carried out airstrikes and sabotage operations against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, which it leads, amid the growing threat of drone attacks and suicide bombings. Pakistan has clearly stated that now the situation is like ‘open war’, and it has also started several military operations to intensify this conflict.

Let us tell you, in history, Pakistan has been considered a major supporter of Taliban. In the 1990s, Pakistan was one of the three countries to recognize the Taliban and built strategic relations with it. For several decades, the Pakistan Army and intelligence agency ISI had provided support, training and assistance to the Taliban, so that a friendly government could be formed in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s security interests could be protected.

Let us tell you that while Afghanistan was once a supporter of Taliban, Pakistan is now facing a situation like ‘open war’ with it. Recently, air strikes and skirmishes have started on the border between the two countries.

But now the circumstances have changed. Today Pakistan says that terrorist groups based in Afghanistan are behind the attacks on its security and border areas, which also includes terrorist organizations like Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP). It alleges that the Taliban regime is harboring these groups, leading to an increasing number of suicide bombings and terrorist attacks across the border in Pakistan.

Pakistan has launched retaliation against its criminal networks and militia attacks along the border. The Afghan Taliban have been accused of patronizing terrorist groups seeking to destabilize Pakistan, leading to tensions between the two sides.

Now due to attacks on military bases deployed on the border, suicide blasts and terrorist activities, Pakistan has intensified retaliatory air and ground attacks. Due to this, an atmosphere of direct conflict and ‘open war’ has arisen between the two countries, which was never seen before.

This important change has indicated that there has been a big change in the policy of Pakistan, which once supported Taliban, today it is forced to face a war-like situation due to pressure of time, border threats and terrorist attacks.
