Islamabad: In response to media queries regarding a social media post by the British Special Representative for Afghanistan, Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi has stated that we have seen the social media post by the British SRA regarding developments along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
FO Spokesperson said that the one-sided remarks are devoid of a deeper understanding of the situation along the border. Cross-border aggression and terrorist infiltration attempts from the Afghan side have continued unabated despite Pakistan's goodwill gesture of a temporary pause, announced in March 2026. Since then, indiscriminate and unprovoked cross-border attacks by the Afghan Taliban, and terrorist activities by Afghan Taliban-supported Indian proxies inside Pakistan, have resulted in the shahadat of 52 civilians and eighty-four injuries.
Tahir Hussain Andrabi said that Pakistan, while exercising restraint, has responded effectively by precisely targeting Afghan Taliban posts and terrorist support infrastructure, while also thwarting multiple infiltration attempts from the Afghan side. Afghan claims of civilian casualties due to Pakistan's responses lack evidential credibility.
Such unwarranted remarks, without linking them to the root cause of terrorism, do not offer a balanced and objective perspective.
Tahir Hussain Andrabi said that we urge a better understanding of regional dynamics, Pakistan's principled stance, as well as the unparalleled sacrifices rendered by the people of Pakistan in the fight against terrorism.
