Taliban has dealt a major blow to Pakistan on PoK… Pakistan's role is not considered in border assessment

Pakistan, which is plotting against India, has been dealt a heavy blow by neighboring Afghanistan. The Taliban government of Afghanistan has refused to accept PoK as part of Pakistan. Over the past few years, Afghanistan's Taliban government's relations with Pakistan have been anything but good. From the government's statement on boundary assessment, it is clear that it officially considers PoK a part of Jammu and Kashmir and not a part of Pakistan. Pakistan's claim to PoK rejected For the first time in 3 decades, the Taliban government's Ministry of Frontier and Tribal Affairs has announced that it will assess its borders with Pakistan, Tajikistan and Jammu-Kashmir. What is special about this is that the Taliban have created an 'imaginary fortress' with Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir and an 'official border' with Tajikistan. In its statement, the Taliban ministry has used the term Jammu and Kashmir for 'Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir' (PoK), meaning that the Taliban government also does not accept Pakistan's claim to PoK. What did the Taliban government say in that statement? The Ministry of Boundary and Tribal Affairs said it has assessed the imaginary line with Pakistan and the official boundaries with Tajikistan and Jammu and Kashmir. According to a ministry statement, the ministry team has assessed Wakhan, Jebak and Quran wa Munjan districts of Badakhshan along the imaginary line along the official border with Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir and Tajikistan. It is clear from this statement that Taliban has rejected Pakistan's claim on POK and now Afghanistan's border will directly meet Jammu and Kashmir, meaning India and Afghanistan will be direct neighbours. The Ministry of Boundaries and Tribal Affairs has said that it has assessed the presumptive line with Pakistan and the official boundaries with Tajikistan and Jammu and Kashmir.

This trade route connects Saman with Spin Boltak District of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. According to a report, around 10,000 people cross the border every day for business in Afghanistan's Vesh. What is Indian government's stand on PoK? Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. The Indian government has always rejected Pakistan's claim to PoK. A few months ago, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh made a big statement regarding PoK when he said, “India will never give up its claim on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), but we don't need to occupy it by force. Seeing the development in Kashmir, the people there have become a part of India.” Discontent in PoK: Let us tell you that there is a lot of discontent with the government of Pakistan.
