Dont be miss guided. The handing over of the post was not about what Afghans claimed but what Pakistan decided as a “strategic intent to improve border management”.
We are a bunch of emotional people who are so easy to play with. People will twist the words and try to flaming the whole episode but instead of getting derailed one must understand the facts and reply accordingly. I have seen your posts in the past and am sure that you will be able to do exactly that.
This demand for more land burned me up and closing the angur adda passage. When we did it in torkham border to simply fence it the afghans everywhere were crying and portraying how cruel we are and here they are doing the same as a tool for blackmailing to get more land out of us.
I know that. I quoted highlighting the history of angur adda and Durand line and how we made that post on the west side of the Durand which was legally afghan land.
However I also believe that this exchange came at a wrong time. Whatever goodwill we could have earned was lost thanks to the droning and now Afghanistan is showing us more teeth. Tbh I have little to no hope from them would support as much closure of the border as possible from our side.
