Rana Tanveer Hussain, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Food Security, declared that Islamabad will not allow Afghanistan to become India’s puppet state.
He urged the Taliban to learn from India’s humiliating defeat and cooperate in counter-terrorism efforts.
These statements come amid escalating political and security tensions between the Taliban and Pakistan in recent weeks.
Taliban officials have repeatedly accused Pakistan of violating Afghanistan’s sovereignty.
The Pakistani minister also emphasized that the Taliban must meet Islamabad’s expectations regarding counter-terrorism cooperation.
This position was announced as relations between the two neighboring countries continue to deteriorate.
