Islamabad:
Unabashedly admitting Pakistan military’s close ties with Taliban and its anti-India agenda, a leader of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has talked about taking assistance of the Taliban in Kashmir for the duration of an on-air tv show.
During a Television news debate, PTI leader Neelam Irshad Sheikh stated the Taliban have announced that they will join hands with Pakistan in Kashmir.
“The Taliban are saying that they are with us and they will help us in Kashmir,” Sheikh stated for the duration of the show.
However, earlier the Taliban had stated that Kashmir is India’s “internal and bilateral” concern.
Alarmed by the statement of the PTI leader, the news anchor stated, “Madam, do you realise what you have said? You have no idea what you have said. For God’s sake ma’am, this show will air around the world. This will be viewed in India.”
However, an unaffected and unconcerned Irshad Sheikh continued saying that “Taliban will help us because they have been mistreated.”
Earlier, the Afghan government had accused Pakistan and its intelligence service of playing a important function in fostering the Taliban.
