Khattak said in an interview to the BBC that Pakistan is fully supporting the Taliban. The Taliban is in a way an instrument of Pakistan’s policy of strategic depth in Afghanistan. I think Pakistan is very happy with the Taliban’s advances. I mean to say Pakistani generals, as the civilian government has no role in shaping or executing this policy. In his tweet Khattak also accused made in Pakistan is written large on Taliban militiawith full dependence on Pak sanctuary/training/supplies.
Made in Pakistan is written large on TB militia with full dependence on Pak sanctuary /training/supplies. Those looking at ANDSF without the support of international forces haven’t even theoretically looked at Taliban without its foreign umbrella, the origin of ‘forever war.’
