He said that the Taliban government in Afghanistan must implement the promises made under the Doha Agreement. If the Afghan Taliban government does not fulfill these promises, then Pakistan has the full right to defend itself.
The Pakistan Army spokesman said that Pakistan can talk to Afghanistan but will not talk to terrorists. About 80 percent of the attackers in suicide attacks in Pakistan are Afghan citizens, while Afghan citizens are present in every formation coming from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the main demand from Pakistan to the Afghan Taliban government is that it should not allow its soil to be used against Pakistan.

The DG ISPR said that Pakistan's position is that India is sponsoring terrorism in Balochistan, while the content being circulated on social media is also being operated from abroad. India has been denying such allegations made by Pakistan in the past.
