The Indian media is playing an active role in proving the narrative of the Afghan Taliban correct. The media is following its government’s plans to a tee in further strengthening the anti-Pakistan propaganda.
In this regard, Indian news agency ‘World Is One News’ (WION) and the ANI news agency, which parrots the language of the Indian government, started slinging mud at Pakistan without any evidence by referring to the statement of Afghan Defence Minister Mullah Yaqub Mujahid.
The aforementioned Indian news agencies, referring to the news of the Afghan media organisation Tolo News, published a statement of the interim defence minister of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Yaqub Mujahid, where he says that in 2023, more than 20 Pakistanis were killed in Afghanistan for their involvement in terrorist activities.
This statement was actually an attempt to cover up the fact that Pakistan has provided evidence to the Afghan Taliban that Afghan citizens were involved in terrorism and suicide attacks inside Pakistan.

Pakistan has also presented concrete evidence to the Afghan Taliban government to strengthen its case, but there is no concrete evidence to prove the allegations made by the interim rulers through the media, nor have they been directly submitted to Pakistan.
Mullah Yaqub Mujahid is advising other countries in the region to monitor their borders, but he is not paying any heed to the terrorism being perpetrated in Pakistan from the Afghan border areas.
The Afghan defence minister’s claims that after their assumption of power, there has been a 90% reduction in terrorism from the Afghan territory to other countries, while the figures of the last year contradict this claim and there is a large number of Afghans involved in terrorism in Pakistan.
According to Tolo News, Mujahid says that the accusations of smuggling weapons left by the US or its allies are baseless. However, Pakistan has provided evidence to the Afghan Taliban that these weapons are being used in terrorist incidents in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, India continues its traditional policy of exaggerating the statements of Mullah Mujahid, which clearly proves the nexus between India and the Afghan Taliban.
