A video went viral on the Internet in which the Afghan Taliban were removing the Pakistani flag from a truck carrying aid, food supplies and other essentials for the war-torn country. Since the Afghan Taliban took over, Pakistan has been helping Afghanistan with food and other basic things. But an unusual incident took place at the Torkham border when a Taliban security personal removed a Pakistani flag from a vehicle carrying aid for Afghanistan.
The Afghan Taliban Deputy Information Minister Zabihullah Mujahid ordered to arrest and disarm the people involved in it immediately. He further said, “Entire Islamic Emirate has expressed regret over the incident.”After the orders of the Deputy Minister, the culprits were arrested and disarmed. Taliban officials expressed deep regression and said that “No one has the right to insult someone’s flag. This behavior will not be tolerated and strict action will be taken.”
The incident was smoothly covered by the Afghan Taliban, but it left the Pakistanis with a deep concern about the anti-Pakistan sentiments in the neighborhood. The reason behind this is the presence of TTP alongside the border and their past operations against the Pakistan army and security agencies.
