If the Taliban Regime Does Not Accept Our Word on Terrorism, It Will Have to Pay a Heavy Price: DG ISPR

ISLAMABAD (Daily Qudrat): Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that if the Taliban regime does not accept our word on terrorism, it will have to pay a heavy price.

In an interview with a British news agency, the DG ISPR said that Afghan Taliban use non-state elements and mercenaries for their evil objectives; Afghanistan is still being run by non-state elements — this is a regime. The Afghan Taliban regime is India’s proxy; India is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in Pakistan, and terrorist organisations TTP and BLA are also Indian proxies against Pakistan.

The DG ISPR said that after the Russian intervention, numerous agencies and proxies strengthened their roots in Afghanistan. International terrorist organisations such as Jaish al-Adl, Al-Qaeda and ISKP are also present in Afghanistan, a fact pointed out by the United Nations and the United States, as well as several other countries.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that Pakistan only tells the Afghan Taliban to stop supporting terrorists inside Pakistan. The Afghan Taliban regime has given shelter to terrorists like Noor Wali Mehsud, Bashir Zeb and Gul Bahadur; the organisations for terrorism in Pakistan come from Afghanistan, and they get weapons from there.

The DG ISPR said that if the Taliban regime does not accept our word on terrorism, it will have to pay a heavy price. The Afghan Taliban regime has no credibility at the global level; the world should compel the Afghan regime to adopt the behaviour of a normal state. The international community should compel the Afghan Taliban to stop the cultivation and production of narcotics.

He said that the Pakistan Armed Forces have full capability to counter all threats from the Afghan regime, including drones.
