For India, Is Pakistan the ‘Real’ Cause of Concern & Not Taliban?

[UmarJustice]

We need to get the Indians out of the picture. They have no interest but to use Afghanistan as a platform to conduct terrorist activities in Pakistan.

Taliban’s spokesperson Mohammad Suhail Shaheen recently told an Indian audience that it wants to build ties with India, and is even willing to enact a law against terror groups using Afghan soil against any other country.

The US Special Envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, also made a desperate visit to New Delhi, ostensibly to seek India’s constructive role in Afghanistan. He would have probably sought New Delhi’s mediation in resolving the Afghan internal political strife which is hampering the intra-Afghan talks from moving ahead.

Which means that both the US and the Taliban now acknowledge India’s legitimate role in the country, even after an inclusive government is formed in Afghanistan.

Khalilzad’s desperate visit and Taliban’s posturing should be viewed as positive development — New Delhi should simply grab it as a strategic opportunity to move forward.

Why Pakistan Will Try to Come Between Taliban & New Delhi’s Talks
Should India take the Taliban coming to power seriously? Probably yes, for India’s stakes in Afghanistan are colossal. Even if Pakistan sways 100 percent control over the Taliban, the mollifying of the aggrieved Afghan actor by India must start now, provided that India’s legitimate security concerns are regaled by the new regime.

Surely, it has to move cautiously, considering that the ground realities have not changed completely.

First, the peculiar feature of the Afghanistan-Pakistan region – as a hub of Islamic fundamentalism and breeding grounds for terrorism – still remains intact.

Second, make no mistake that the US will continue to plonk for Pakistan as the subedar of these extremist brigades. Pakistan too will continue playing its duplicitous role to profit from exploiting the situation — except the largesse may have relatively dried up now.

A killjoy Pakistan will try to prevent Taliban’s contact with New Delhi, for the fear of their protégés escaping from the cage would be now causing nightmares in Rawalpindi.

Third, the ISI has mastered the art of manipulating the Afghans by splitting them along tribal warlord structures — a methodology that worked well when 28 groups fought jihad against the Soviets in the 1980s. In the 1990s, it surreptitiously created dissensions among Mujahid factions. This time, Pakistan could cause dissent within the Taliban should it disobey ISI’s dictate.

Just an Indian fantasy. The Indians sided with the Northern alliance and will be butchered by the Taliban first opportunity the Taliban get. But some of these Mullahs are a bit weird:-

 

[Pakistan Ka Beta]

Afghan Taliban know who are supporting Ghani and ISIS-K and what Modi is doing in India with Muslims . Day dreaming is allowed .

 

[Trango Towers]

When the Americans leave afgjanistan and inshallah soon...there will be thousands of battle hardened fighters and nowhere to fight. Kashmir is a just fight that no one but an indian RSS can deny

In the Taliban, The political reshuffle to remove the pressure influence points like Haqqani. The son of the Afghan Taliban's late founder Mullah Omar(RA), has been appointed as military chief and put a brake on Haqqani. It means the Taliban removed the influence and will see India his puppet gov dead bodies in Afghanistan.

When I hear so much pain in their writings, I feel proud that despite all our problems and issues from fake bhuttos to corrupt judiciary, the Panama league, someone is doing something right and in the interest of Pakistan.

I no longer care who we support in Afghanistan or what methods we use to extract the Indian influence from there. Even if we have to make a deal with the devil to get the Indians out of there, we should. We can't allow ourselves to be encircled by a country who refuses to accept our very existence.

So is playing a little hard to get with Pakistan.

 

[A dark horse]

India should focus on their own people cz there are 1.40 billion people live in India and 0.001% people can't Hijack the whole nation if the whole nation should compress them Cz RSS is cancer for India you can't win a war with aggressions. Bjp always win theirs election on the base of anti Pakistani aganda and manipulate their nation many times. Now world is global village Indian nation should think about theirs success otherwise a perfect example of Soviet union in front of them.

what?? Taliban were being fought by northern alliance since the soviets left and india is one of the staunchest supporters of it and now they are trying to be friendly with the taliban because they have realised that afghan taliban are supported by pakistan and after the americans leave they might be used by pakistanis in kashmir
