Taliban haven't faced any strong resistance from the Afghan forces that had been trained by US and NATO forces which stayed in the country for nearly two decades
Pakistani leadership have finally started countering irrational incrimination by the Afghan government after it blamed Pakistan for providing safe haven to the Taliban leaders.
So far, the Taliban have captured at least five provincial capitals in Afghanistan in the pursuit of Kabul.
The militia hasn’t faced any strong resistance from the Afghan forces that had been trained by US and NATO forces which stayed in the country for nearly two decades.

The capitulation of Afghan forces has eased the goal for the Taliban while the Afghan officials are hurling slurs at Pakistan for providing logistic support to the militant group, ignoring the mass meltdown of their country’s troops.
The ministers and government spokespersons have started responding to the Afghan blames for supporting the Taliban as they continue to gain tracts in the war-torn country without mentionable resistance.
The harsh statements from Afghanistan Vice President Amrullah Saleh were countered by Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in a media talk on Monday.
In d last 20 days over 110 articles, opeds, commentaries & features hv bn writen by credible jrnlsts, researchers & reputable veterans in Western media alone. All of them siding with the Afghan people & mentioning Pak as “infrastructure of support for Talibs”. So who is lying?

He reiterated Pakistan’s resolve for peace in Afghanistan and clarified that harsh statements from the other side of the border could not block their desire.
The minister said that Pakistan has repeatedly identified internal and external elements vying against peace in the strife-torn country.
Qureshi told the media that he has invited his Afghan counterpart to visit Islamabad and discuss concerns to find a solution.
However, he said that Afghanistan must stop pointing fingers at Pakistan for its own failures.
The foreign minister recalled that Pakistan had also invited Afghan leaders excluding the Taliban to a conference in Islamabad but it had to be postponed at the request of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
Meanwhile, the government spokespersons including Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Special Assistant to Prime Minister of Pakistan on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill also responded to Afghan inculpation against Pakistan.
The Taliban control over 60% of Afghanistan but somehow Afghan officials run a campaign maligning Pakistan for their own failures instead of fighting on the ground. Daily their forces surrender and daily they blame Pakistan. Fight! Don’t do propaganda.

Pakistan stands for peace, we have nothing to gain from conflict. Infact, it is Kabul Govt that needs to answer for the daily instances of terrorism in Pakistan sponsored and coordinated from Afghanistan. Everyone knows People like HamdUllah works for whom… #AfghanPeaceProcess

Energy Minister Hammad Azhar also joined the chorus of condemnation against Afghan incrimination.
Pakistan rejects baseless allegations from certain quarters in Afghanistan. Repeatedly, ANSF has surrendered voluntarily during battle, despite massive financial support. Afghan government should own its failures. Pakistan strongly desires for peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed also reiterated Pakistan’s desire for peace in Afghanistan for regional stability.
The minister said that his country never interfered in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
