All Afghans In Pakistan Must Return Home, Kabul Acting As 'Proxy' Of India: Khawaja Asif
Amid the ongoing border clashes with Afghanistan, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Friday launched a blistering attack on Kabul, saying that all Afghans living in Pakistan must head back to their homeland, where they “have their own government," declaring that the era of old relations with its neighbour is over.
The Pakistani Defence Minister emphasized that the nation's land and resources belong to 250 million Pakistanis and not Afghans.
“All Afghans residing on Pakistani soil must return to their homeland; they now have their own government, their own caliphate in Kabul," Asif said in a post on social media. “Our land and resources belong to 250 million Pakistanis," he added.
His remarks came amid heightened tensions between the two neighbours as a 48-hour ceasefire expired at 6 pm local time. Reports suggested the truce was extended, with both sides expected to meet in Doha to seek a resolution. However, the Taliban accused Islamabad of conducting airstrikes in several districts of Afghanistan's Paktika province, claiming the truce had been “broken," according to news agency AFP.
Asif said Pakistan had shown “patience for years" but received no positive response from Kabul, claiming that Islamabad had sent 836 protest notes and 13 demarches over repeated cross-border terror incidents.
“There will no longer be protest notes or appeals for peace; no delegations will go to Kabul," the Pakistani Minister warned. “Wherever the source of terrorism lies, it will have to pay a heavy price," he further wrote.
He accused the Taliban government of acting as a “proxy of India" and conspiring against Pakistan with New Delhi and the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). “The rulers of Kabul, who are now sitting in India's lap and conspiring against Pakistan, were once under our protection, hiding on our land," he said.
Reaffirming Pakistan's readiness to defend itself, Asif warned that any aggression from across the border would be met with a firm response.

He also highlighted Pakistan's human and security toll since the Taliban's 2021 takeover, noting that the country has faced 10,347 terror attacks that claimed 3,844 lives, including those of civilians and security personnel.
He concluded his post saying, “Self-respecting nations do not thrive on foreign land and resources."
