Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, has alleged that Afghanistan is working under India’s influence, with major decisions in Kabul being taken from New Delhi. His comments come shortly after a brief ceasefire was agreed upon following violent border clashes. Asif also questioned Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s recent visit to India, claiming that Pakistan blames Delhi for sponsoring the Taliban and raising concerns about whether the ceasefire will hold.

The two-day ceasefire aims to reduce tensions, but trust between the countries remains low. Pakistan accuses Kabul of sheltering militants, while Taliban officials have said their forces will respect the truce unless attacked. Both sides continue to blame each other for supporting armed groups, leaving the fragile peace uncertain.
