Our Patience Has Run Out: Pakistan’s Right to Defend Against Afghan Betrayal and Indian Meddling

For nearly five decades, you came to us in waves of suffering, and we called you brothers. When the world shut its doors, ours remained open. We have no quarrel with the Afghan people; our history proves it. We have hosted millions of your citizens for generations, educating your children and healing your sick. We supported you through your wars, sharing what little we had, because we believed in a shared destiny forged in faith and fraternity. In return, we asked for only one thing: that you never allow the soil we helped you protect to become a launchpad for attacks against us.

You have catastrophically failed to honor that simple, sacred pact. Today, your land has become a festering sanctuary for the Fitnah Al Khawarij—the TTP – PTM – Daesh – BYC – BLA and its splinters—who spill our blood and then retreat to your protection. You have the audacity to approach us to talk of trade, transit, and the status of refugees. Yet, under this thin facade of diplomacy, you actively nurture the very vipers that bite us. This dual-faced policy, this grotesque hypocrisy, cannot and will not work any longer. You cannot host our murderers in the darkness and then demand brotherly concessions in the daylight.

Pakistan Afghanistan War 2025- Latest News and Updates

Do you think we are fools? Rather than addressing our legitimate security concerns—backed by irrefutable evidence of terrorist camps on your soil—you fly to New Delhi. There, you sit with the architects of our destabilization and parrot their accusations, blaming us for a “high-handed approach” when it was your proxies who attacked us first. You are aligning yourselves with a state whose national security doctrine is predicated on our destruction. We have all seen the recordings of India’s National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, articulating his vile strategy. He explicitly stated that India would fund Taliban factions, preying on their desperation for money, to wage a relentless proxy war against Pakistan.

His cynical assessment that “they will do anything for money” has become the bloody reality in our streets and on our borders. This is not just about the TTP. You must stop India from using your soil to support other terrorist organizations like the BLA and the BYC, who are all tentacles of the same monster.

This tired mantra of being “brothers” while some factions are “not in your favor” is an insult to our intelligence. A state is defined by its ability to control its territory and prevent it from being used to harm its neighbors. Your failure to do so is no longer seen as a weakness; it is seen as a choice. You can have your relationships with anyone you wish. You can drink from the cups washed with cow urine if that is what your politics demand; it is your choice. But do not allow your soil to be used against us. That is not a request; it is a red line.

Our recent actions were never taken lightly — they were the bitter result of repeated betrayal and the only choice left to protect our people. The dismantling of the Taliban’s Kandahar headquarters, the destruction of twenty-one terrorist posts, and the seizure of strategic positions like Topsar were carried out to remove the threats that kept killing our sons and daughters. When you ask for a ceasefire now, understand this: there can be no pause until the networks and safe havens that spawn violence are gone. Pakistan still wants peace — and if Afghanistan truly chooses it, we will welcome Afghans back with the same open arms and open hearts we showed for fifty years. But if you decide otherwise, we will use the means necessary to defend our homeland. Let this be a final, sorrowful warning: the choice is yours.
