The fact is that it's not the people of Pakistan they hate but the Pakistani Establishment that includes the government, the Pakistan Army and mostly the ISI which has been playing games in Afghanistan by supporting the Taliban which has wrought havoc on the Afghan people.
The single minded aim of the Pak Army to establish 'strategic depth' in Pakistan by trying to install a pro-Pak government of the Taliban (Haqqani/Omar) is the main reason for this conflict to have continued for so long resulting in not only bloodshed of the people but also destruction of Afghanistan's institutions.
All this talk of India having opened dozens of consulates in Afghanistan bordering Pakistan to help the TTP and other anti-Pak forces is a load of bull. India has just 4 consulates in Afghanistan - Herat, Jalalabad, Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif. Here they are:
Now, how many are located near the AfPak border to influence activities on Pakistani soil? Jalalabad is the nearest but the rest are hundreds of miles away.
I think Pakistan needs to introspect and re-look its grand strategy of establishing 'strategic depth' with the help of the Taliban. It's past its use-by date. A paradigm shift is required to bring about lasting peace in the region.
