Sound of war between Pakistan-Afghanistan? Will there be any impact on India? If there is a war, there will be these 5 big dangers
Pakistan Afghanistan Tension: Pakistan and Afghanistan Tension has once again increased on the border between India and Pakistan. On Sunday, Pakistan claimed that its army has carried out targeted attacks on terrorist targets operating in the areas bordering Afghanistan, Pakistan says that this action was taken in response to the increased terrorist activities inside the country in recent times.
Controversy has also emerged regarding these attacks. Afghan media reports have claimed that several members of the same family were killed in these early morning attacks. However, there is no official confirmation from both the countries regarding the number of casualties yet. On the other hand, Taliban has said that it will avenge this attack at any cost.
How did Pakistan carry out the operation?
Pakistan’s Information Ministry issued a statement saying that these operations were conducted on the basis of intelligence and in a selective manner. According to the ministry, camps associated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State were targeted in these attacks. After these incidents, the question is arising that if the tension between the two countries increases further, then in which direction the situation can go. Let us know.
- What will be the impact on business?
The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is very important for trade. Major borders like Chaman and Torkham have already been closed several times. If there is a war between the two, all major roads may be closed. Due to this, there may be shortage of food items, fuel and essential goods. Especially in Afghanistan, which is more dependent on imports, inflation may increase rapidly there. Pakistan may also face economic shock due to loss in trade and increase in security expenses.
- What advantage will terrorist organizations take?
Both countries have been accusing each other of giving shelter to terrorists, if there is a war then extremist groups like TTP and BLA can take advantage of the situation and strengthen their hold. It will be difficult to stop them in hilly and remote areas. With increasing instability, fundamentalist organizations may also try to attract new people with them.
- Impact on business and connectivity with India
India has had development projects and humanitarian assistance programs in Afghanistan. If there is a war, the possibilities of regional trade routes, especially connectivity with Central Asia, may be affected. India’s connectivity strategy can also be indirectly affected through Chabahar Port.
- Can the war drag on?
Due to hilly terrain, weak supply lines and militant activities, it may be difficult for any side to achieve quick victory. The war may last a long time, resulting in the loss of thousands of soldiers and civilians. This will put a heavy burden on the economy and army of both the countries and may increase internal political instability, protests and public pressure. The Taliban is known for guerrilla warfare and fighting for long periods of time.
- Attack on inner city areas
The use of air strikes, drones and heavy weapons has been seen in the current clashes. If the war escalates, both countries can also attack each other’s internal areas, such as roads, bridges and supply bases. This will result in loss of lives of common people.
