Since August 2021, incidents of border skirmishes between Pakistan and Taliban-led Afghanistan have increased significantly over Durand Line.

The withdrawal of the ceasefire agreement on November 28 was followed by a wave of terror attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Last month, the TTP formally withdrew its ceasefire agreement with Pakistan, which was formally declared in June. The TTP gained considerable ground and increased its footprint and magnitude of activities during the peace talks process, The News International newspaper reported. The US exit from Afghanistan had bolstered Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) activities with its base in the war-torn country still intact, Pakistan's counter-terrorism authority in Islamabad told the country's Senate Standing Committee on Interior earlier this month. When the democratic government was ousted in August 2021, the then-Pakistan Intelligence Chief went there in Kabul to celebrate this takeover. Pakistan has historically followed a 'Strategic Depth Policy' towards Afghanistan, whereby it attempts to control the country as a political pawn and strategic hedge vis-a-vis India. However, the increased militancy in Pakistan and border clashes with the Taliban that have happened since August last year have indicated otherwise. With the proactive action of the Indian Armed Forces, around 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered in Dhaka and Bangladesh emerged as an independent country.Īfter the fall of Ashraf Ghani's government in Afghanistan, Pakistan was one of the few countries to applaud the Taliban takeover of the war-ravaged country while hoping to reap benefits from what it regarded as a strategic victory.

A swift response to these unprovoked attacks was launched by the Indian Defence Forces on the Western and Eastern Fronts, on land, sea, and air. The 1971 Indo-Pak War started with the Pakistan side, launching pre-emptive strikes on a large number of Indian Air Force (IAF) bases. Notably, this was the largest military surrender after the second world war happened when 93,000 soldiers from the Pakistan Army laid down their arms in front of Indian Forces - liberating and giving birth to a new nation Bangladesh.

Do not think of a military attack on us, otherwise, there will be a shameful repetition of the military agreement with India.' This is Afghanistan, the graveyard of proud empires. Warning Pakistan against attacking the Taliban, Taliban member Ahmad Yasir tweeted, 'Interior Minister of Pakistan! Excellent Sir! Afghanistan, Syria and Pakistan are not Turkey to target the Kurds in Syria. New Delhi, January 3 (ANI): Pakistan tasted their own medicine when an Afghan Taliban member shamed them for surrendering to India in the 1971 war that led to the creation of a new nation, Bangladesh from erstwhile East Pakistan.
