Khawaja Muhammad Asif
Amu: Pakistan’s defense minister warned that Islamabad is fully prepared to confront both the Taliban and India at the same time, saying the Taliban were no longer trustworthy due to their ties with India and militant groups. Khawaja Asif said in an interview that his earlier optimism about the Taliban after they returned to power in Kabul in 2021 had proven misplaced. “I made a mistake when the Taliban took power in Kabul and I pinned my hopes on them,” Asif said. “All those hopes were shattered. I think the Taliban are not trustworthy. Their friends — whether Afghan, Pakistani, the TTP or India — none of them are reliable. The Taliban have now moved closer to India.” Click here to read more (external link).
