Last night, the Pakistan Air Force carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan’s Kunar and Paktika provinces, targeting terrorists’ safe havens.
Following the strikes, Afghan Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid accused Pakistan of targeting the civilian population.
But we are asking the same question again: if a house or a place in Afghanistan is targeted, does that mean only the civilian population is present there?
Is there no civilian population anywhere else in Afghanistan?
And if Pakistan has carried out airstrikes, why was the civilian population targeted only at one particular place?
Pakistan has targeted Jalalabad, Nuristan, Kunar, Paktia, Paktika, Kabul, Nangarhar and Khost. There is civilian population in all these areas as well.
Why did Pakistan not target them?
This is a fundamental question.
The Islamic Emirate has always said that Afghan territory is being used against Pakistan.
The terrorist organization that accepted responsibility for the Kohat Police Lines attack has accepted that it carried out the attack. Everyone knows that Ittihad-ul-Mujahideen is present in Afghanistan. Its leadership is living there. The Taliban regime has given them safe havens. They have been provided accommodation there, and they have their training centers there.
So, after they accepted responsibility for the attack, saying that they attacked the Kohat Police Lines, and then the security forces vehicle was targeted in Hangu, the same group accepted responsibility for that attack as well.
Pakistan then targets those places where their trained people are present and where their training camps are present.
Those places are targeted on the basis of intelligence-based information.
So the spokesperson of the Afghan Taliban, Zabihullah Mujahid, says that civilians have been targeted there.
The question is that in Nur Gul district of Kunar, where this has been done, there will be more villages there. There are more people there. There are more people living nearby.
So why did Pakistan not target those villages entirely?
Why did Pakistan not target the entire district, the village, the city and other places there?
The purpose of saying this is that in the areas targeted on the basis of intelligence-based information, those people are present who plan attacks inside Pakistan and facilitate such attacks.
And then, when Pakistan retaliates, such statements and narratives are built and propagated by the Taliban that civilians have been targeted.
There is also the connection of the Islamic Emirate with India and with RAW, including the former inviting Indian YouTubers and arranging visits for them in Afghanistan with security protocols.
We also have a demand and a question for the international media.
You give permission to Indians, but why are the international media and local media banned in Afghanistan?
If you call YouTubers from India and take them to those places in Afghanistan, feed them your narrative and allow them to speak against Pakistan, then why do you not allow the journalists of your own country to go to those areas?
Why did you ban journalists from going to those areas?
Anyway, Pakistan has made it clear that if there is even one terrorist incident in Pakistan, a dangerous reaction will be given in return, and all the above-mentioned places being used against Pakistan will be targeted.
Even before this, the precise attacks that Pakistan carried out in Kabul, Nangarhar and Jalalabad targeted terrorist training camps.
It is also being said that Bagram Air Base was hit, where some of their drones were stored.
There is also information that at the place targeted in Kabul, drones were stored there as well.
It is also being said that the Taliban evacuated madrassas or schools and used them as training camps.
Anyway, this is one thing.
The important thing that I am going to mention now is that the commander, Supreme Leader or chief of the Afghan Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, in a letter, which you can call an order, gave instructions to his interim government or ministries.
He instructed them that terrorists who are extremely wanted at the international level should be provided full security and protocols.
He is giving all these instructions to them.
There is a secret letter to the Ministry of Defence, which is also circulating on social media.
In it, Sheikh Hibatullah has said that these dangerous terrorists, including Sheikh Talha al-Iraqi and Abdul Haq Turkestani, and other members of their team, should be given complete state protocol.
This is what Sheikh Hibatullah has ordered.
In this letter, instructions have been given to the concerned authorities to facilitate these terrorists for their secret air travel and ensure intelligence cooperation.
In addition to security, they have also been instructed to provide whatever is necessary for the preparation of explosive materials and drone technology.
Now the question is that the world is saying that the United Nations has said that Al-Qaeda is present in Afghanistan, its leadership is present there, and the Taliban regime is providing them support.
So this is a serious situation for this area in terms of security.
Now, the names mentioned in this letter, Sheikh Talha al-Iraqi and Abdul Haq Turkestani, who are they?
And why is Sheikh Hibatullah issuing instructions to his Ministry of Defence for their security?
This means that all of them are working under his leadership.
The Taliban regime is providing them safe havens.
And then, apart from Pakistan, China, Russia, Iran and other members of the United Nations, when they raise questions, when they bring up reports that Afghanistan has become a safe haven for terrorists, then the Taliban regime comes forward to prove these reports wrong.
This is one connection that we have proven, showing how they are leading it and how they are cooperating with each other.
This is one thing.
Secondly, a couple of days ago in Kurram, the security forces of Pakistan eliminated one of the most important Afghan commanders of the banned TTP, Dr. Ubaidullah Saeed Badri.
And it is said that the slain Afghan commander of the banned TTP, Dr. Ubaidullah Saeed Badri, had very deep intellectual and ideological ties with the Taliban regime.
There is also a picture in which Dr. Ubaidullah Saeed Badri can be seen with an Afghan terrorist residing in the Logar region of Afghanistan, Abdul Hamid Hamasi, an influential Taliban figure.
So this picture and the links that have come to light are also proof that all these terrorists are present there.
They are planning attacks there.
They send their people across the border.
And they also claim responsibility for the terrorist attacks that take place here.
And after accepting these responsibilities, when Pakistan conducts operations there on the basis of intelligence, Zabihullah Mujahid explains that the civilian population was targeted.
My question is still the same.
In the specific house that was targeted, were only the civilians living there?
Why wasn’t the whole village around that house targeted?
Because if the civilian population is targeted, then all the civilians of Afghanistan are civilians for Pakistan.
It is not that if there are some civilians in a house, they are the enemies of Pakistan, and the rest of the civilians in that whole village are friends of Pakistan.
So now Zabihullah Mujahid is trying to paint these facts differently, to draw the attention of the international media, or the so-called human rights organizations, that Pakistan has targeted civilians.
Actually, the point is that the place targeted is basically the abode of the terrorists, their houses or places where they live.
And the information that has come out is that more than 30 terrorists have been targeted in the places where they lived, in the houses that were provided to them.
So the actual situation is that on the one hand, Sheikh Hibatullah, the Supreme Leader, is protecting terrorists related to Al-Qaeda, Sheikh Talha al-Iraqi and Abdul Haq Turkestani.
And on the other hand, the doctor who was killed in Kurram, Dr. Ubaidullah Saeed Badri, has a connection with the Taliban that is no secret.
And then there is this narrative of Zabihullah Mujahid that the civilian population is being targeted there.
So these are all proofs.
Now, in this era of social media, everything comes to light.
Nothing is hidden.
So the purpose of saying this is that whatever happened there, whatever is happening there, and the response that is given or carried out in return by Pakistan, these are its real facts and these are its real details.
