Tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan is continuously increasing. Islamabad alleges that the Afghan Taliban has failed to control terrorist organizations operating from its territory, especially TTP. Pakistan says that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan terrorists carry out attacks by crossing the Durand Line, while Kabul has been denying these allegations. In his address, Munir asked the Taliban government of Afghanistan to decide whether it is with Pakistan or TTP.
Munir also spoke on the issue of religious rights and stressed that jihad cannot be declared by any individual or non-state organization. According to him, in the Islamic system only the state has the right to call for jihad. In the context of India, Asim Munir claimed that Pakistan had received ‘divine help’ during the military confrontation in May. It is noteworthy that on May 7, in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India had taken action against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoK under ‘Operation Sindoor’, after which there was a military confrontation between the two countries for four days.
