We will crush it. Is Shahbaz Sharif in the mood for an all-out war with Afghanistan? Pakistan’s open warning

News India Live, Digital Desk: The bitterness in relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan has now reached a powder keg. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued a strong statement making it clear that they are ready to go to any extent to protect their borders. After this statement of Shahbaz, questions are being raised whether another ‘big war’ is about to start in South Asia? Strong message from Shahbaz Sharif: “Will not spare the enemy.” Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif addressed the media after the security cabinet meeting amid the ongoing violent clashes on the border with the Taliban. Without directly naming Afghanistan, he said: “If our sovereignty is challenged or our soil is attacked, we will crush it. Pakistan will no longer tolerate any kind of cross-border terrorism.” Why is Pakistan moving towards war? The Pakistan government and the army believe that the Taliban government of Afghanistan is not only harboring TTP terrorists, but is now also carrying out direct attacks on the Durand Line. Pressure of Operation: The Pakistani Army has already started airstrike in Afghanistan through ‘Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq’. Fight for survival: For Shahbaz Sharif, it has become not only a military but also a fight for political credibility, because there is huge pressure on him regarding the security arrangements inside the country. Taliban’s counterattack: “Not afraid of threats.” On the other hand, the Taliban government sitting in Kabul has termed Shahbaz Sharif’s statement as ‘childish. It has been termed as ‘threat’. Taliban spokesperson said that Pakistan is blaming Afghanistan for its domestic failures. He warned that if Pakistan does not stop its military aggression, its consequences will be serious. Will this war be able to stop? Experts believe that this ‘war-like attitude’ of Shahbaz Sharif is a big risk amid the poor economic condition of Pakistan. On one hand, the country is on the verge of default, while on the other hand, a ‘full-scale war’ with its neighbor can put Pakistan in deeper trouble. The United Nations and China are making efforts behind the scenes to reduce this tension, but at present both sides are not ready to back down.
