The recent cross -border firing by Afghan forces in several Pakistani border positions has strongly criticized foreign affairs and defense experts, who described the incident as a serious violation of the UN Charter and the Doha Treaty.
According to security sources, Afghan troops opened indiscriminate fire in South Waziristan late Saturday night in South Waziristan, Pakistani security positions in Kram, Upper Dear, Chitral, Baramacha, and Angoor Ada.
Sources added that Pakistani forces responded immediately and effectively, repelled the attackers and caused severe losses to the attackers.
Experts strongly condemned the attacks, saying the Afghan interim government, led by the Taliban, failed to maintain its international promises.
Brigadier (Retd) Mahmood Shah, a senior defense analyst and a former secretary of law and order in the former FATA region, told the APP that the attacks were a direct violation of the Doha agreement, under which the Taliban -led Afghan government did not allow the Afghan state to use the Afghan state, especially for the Afghan government.
Shah said, “The presence of prohibited terrorist organizations, including Fita al -Khwaraj, TTP, and their training camps in Afghanistan, shows that the Taliban government is not serious about implementing peace promises in Doha.”
He emphasized that Pakistan has no alternative, but there is no alternative to taking defense and aggressive measures to counter the threats coming from the Afghan territory.
At a recent press conference in Peshawar, DGISPR LT General Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry issued a rigorous warning to the supporters and facilitators of Finah al -Kharaj, demanding that they surrender or face full military action.
He also criticized the Taliban administration for failing to cross -border infiltration and militant attacks. He said the Afghan interim government has failed to respect the commitment to the Doha agreement.
Brigade Shah added that Afghan interim minister, Aamir Khan Muttaki, cannot refrain from his government’s responsibilities by issuing “irresponsible and irrational” statements, as he made against Kashmir during his recent visit to India.
“Failure to tackle Taliban terrorism and eliminate militant infrastructure inside Afghanistan is eliminating regional peace, and stability said.
Experts also expressed alarm over the recent joint communication issued by India and Afghanistan, calling it a strategic tactic for New Delhi to worship Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Brigade Shah labeled communications as India has prepared to exploit the current tension against Kashmiris and “deep rooted conspiracies”.
He added that such a move not only damages regional stability but also violates a number of UN Security Council resolutions, especially those who are related to the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said, “The Kashmir issue has not been resolved in accordance with UN resolutions and it should be decided through the right to self -determination of the Kashmiri people.”
He further criticized India’s track record in the region, accusing him of widespread violations of Indian rights in Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Dr. Ejaz Khan, an international relations expert and former chairman of International Relations at the University of Peshawar, said that despite repeated targeting of cross -border terrorist attacks that began in Afghanistan, Pakistan has shown considerable sanctions.
“Pakistan had no choice but to take the necessary security measures to protect its citizens after the Afghan Taliban government was banned and failed to stop the TTP activities, Dr Khan said.
He accused India of trying to incite the dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially after Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Pakistan in Operation Iron Wall.
Dr Khan said that the Pakistan Air Force on May 10 shot seven Indian warplanes, including Rafael Jets, which India has not yet diplomatically or militaryly recovered.
Former Chairman of the Department of Political Science at the University of Peshawar, Prof. Dr. Ah Hilali, pointed to the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan as an auxiliary factor in the region’s instability.
“The United States left Afghanistan more than $ 7.2 billion worth of weapons and goods, which have now fallen into the hands of various militant groups providing terrorism in the region,” he said.
Dr. Hilali also criticized Afghanistan’s ill diplomatic engagement with India, suggesting that the Afghan Foreign Minister should have acknowledged Pakistan’s decades of support, hosted by more than 4 million Afghan refugees since 1979.
Dr. Hilali added, “From transit trade privileges to hospitals and humanitarian aid, Pakistan has been set up with Afghanistan in the hours of its needs. Now the goodwill is being dismissed by controversial diplomatic measures.”
In addition to the violence and negative diplomatic publication of the cross -border Afghanistan, alarms have been raised about regional peace and stability, in addition to the infiltration of Fita al -Khawaja, experts said.
Experts are immediately demanding international attention to ensure that the Doha peace agreement and agreements like the UN Charter are not only awarded but also implemented.
As the security situation develops, both regional diplomacy and security reactions are expected intensely, and Pakistan has indicated that it will not tolerate its sovereignty or further violations of its people.
