The connection of Afghanistan with Pakistan is affected by territorial disputes alongside the “Durand line”. Pressure alongside the border heightens with each suicide bombing and airstrike. Afghanistan has usually accused Pakistan of making discord with China and different neighbouring international locations. As if Pakistan Taliban was not sufficient, Pakistan govt order directing all Afghan refugees and Afghan Citizen Card holders to go away has fomented appreciable anti-Pak sentiment.
Until date, greater than 1.6 million people have been repatriated, although the federal government of Afghanistan had termed the choice unacceptable and urged to rethink citing that it could have an effect on about 3 million Afghan nationals, together with refuges, documented & undocumented migrants and people ready relocation to western international locations. The continued mass deportation has been condemned by the UN and Human Rights Watch. Amnesty Worldwide had urged the reversal of the choice and condemned Pakistan's authorities for “arbitrarily arresting and harassing” Afghans. Following the 2025 Afghanistan earthquake, the UN's particular rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, referred to as on Pakistan to droop its deportation of Afghan migrants in mild of the catastrophe however Pakistan didn't hassle to hear.
One other reason behind concern for Afghanistan is inter-ethnic notably anti-Pashtun tensions in Pakistan. It's extremely disturbing to notice that Punjabis dominated Pakistani authorities and navy have been finishing up navy actions in Pashtun majority areas inflicting widespread displacement, destruction and casualties with impunity. In city areas Pashtuns have been stereotyped as extremists or backward consequently compelled to dwell with social stigmatization and harassment. This psychy instantly impacts Afghanistan which is a house for greater than 15 million Pushtuns. Towards this background, it's speculated that the Afghanistan FM's forthcoming go to to India indicators Afghanistan's willingness to cut back dependency on Pakistan and forge nearer ties with India.
The current regime in Afghanistan can also be effectively conscious of the truth that Pakistan has all the time sought to make use of their nation as ‘strategic depth' towards India and by no means been critical about constructing a mutually useful relationship. Pakistan will get its pursuits served beneath tacit collaboration of ISKP, Al-Qaida and LeT. This concern was raised by the Afghan aspect on the Moscow Format meet.
Such transnational terrorist networks pose a critical problem to regional stability, a reality repeatedly identified by India to the worldwide group. Afghanistan FM had indicated a visual shift by strongly condemning the Pahalgam terrorist assault strongly. India's Overseas Minister too appreciated the identical and reaffirmed India's conventional friendship with the Afghan individuals.
