'Now we will have to pay a heavy price...' Pakistan's warning to Afghanistan and India, what will happen now?

Khawaja Asif, Pakistan’s defense minister, said on Friday that Pakistan can no longer maintain the same relations with Afghanistan as before. He also threatened to eradicate terrorism against our country wherever it exists and said that those who do so will have to pay a heavy price. Asif said, “All Afghans living on Pakistani soil will now have to return to their homeland; they have their own government/caliphate in Kabul… Our land and resources belong to 25 million Pakistanis, not theirs. Self-respecting countries do not thrive on foreign land and resources.” No more relations with Afghanistan… His comments come at a time when the 48-hour ceasefire ends at 18:00 local time. However, media reports indicate that the ceasefire has been extended as representatives from both sides are scheduled to meet in Doha, Qatar to find a solution to the ongoing tensions. “Pakistan can no longer maintain the same relations with Kabul as before,” Asif said in a social media post. Asif said that despite Pakistan’s efforts and sacrifices in the last five years, there was no positive response from Kabul. “Pakistan has issued 836 protest letters and 13 other objections to the Afghan side,” he said. He threatened that where there is a source of terrorism against Pakistan, it will have to pay a heavy price. There will be no more letters of protest or appeals for peace; No delegation will go to Kabul.” Pakistan accuses India Asif also alleged that Afghanistan has become a “proxy of India” and is conspiring against Pakistan in collaboration with New Delhi and the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). He said, “The rulers of Kabul, who are now sitting in the lap of India and plotting against Pakistan, once hiding away on our land, which threatens our security. Asif affirmed Pakistan’s readiness and ability to defend itself against further aggression from Kabul. Asif said on Wednesday that if the Afghan Taliban wanted conflict, Pakistan was ready to fulfill their wish for war. During a program on Sama TV, Asif said Pakistan is “ready for any aggression; no one should have any doubts.” He also said that Pakistan is on two fronts and can also launch an internal front against the state. Islamabad has consistently urged the Taliban government to stop terrorist groups from using Afghan soil for cross-border attacks. However, the Taliban government denied these allegations and insisted that Afghan soil was not used against any neighboring country. go Share this story Tags
