Defene Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has categorically rejected baseless and contrived allegations by Acting Afghanistan Deputy Foreign Minister Stanikzai.
In his post on X, he said according to the latest report of UN Monitoring Team, over two dozen terrorist groups including TTP, Al-Qaida, ISKP, ETIM and IMU are operating in Afghanistan.
He said Afghanistan remained the hub for ISKP’s recruitment and facilitation in 2024.
The Defense Minister urged the interim Afghan authorities to fulfill the assurances given to the international community by dismantling terrorist infrastructure and taking visible and verifiable actions to prevent Afghan soil from being used against other countries.
