Pakistan states that dialogue with Afghanistan is closed and underscores that the Interim Afghan Government - TTA has said that handling the TTP is not their responsibility, while the TTP continues to operate from Afghan soil. Diplomacy, the text argues, cannot succeed while Pakistani lives are being lost. Since January 2023, over 230 cross-border attacks have been launched from Afghan territory, causing 3,417 deaths in 2025 alone, including 580 civilians and 667 security personnel. More than half of these attacks are attributed to the TTP and its networks. Despite Pakistan's adherence to the Doha Agreement, protection of more than 1.5 million Afghan refugees, and decades of humanitarian support, terrorists based in Afghanistan continue to threaten Pakistani citizens. The piece contends that no sovereign nation can remain silent as its people are targeted, and that Pakistan's strikes are intelligence- and precision-based, aimed at verified terrorist hideouts. Civilian risk, it asserts, is the responsibility of those harboring armed groups in populated areas. The call to Kabul is for verifiable and irreversible action against terrorist sanctuaries including the TTP, AQ, and allied networks, arguing that true Islamic and humanitarian principles begin with neighbours' protection and a stable, peaceful Afghanistan.
