70–80% of Attackers in Pakistan Are Afghans, Khawaja Asif Says
[KhaamaPress] Pakistain’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has claimed that 70—80% of the people carrying out terrorist attacks on mosques, schools, markets and the Pak military are Afghan nationals, escalating Islamabad’s rhetoric against Afghans and the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
authorities in Kabul. The remarks come as Pakistain continues a sweeping crackdown on Afghan refugees and accuses Afghanistan of harboring turbans responsible for cross-border violence.

Asif made the comments in a post on X after criticizing Pak students who expressed solidarity with Afghan students facing uncertainty over their education in Pakistain. He argued that support for Afghan students reflected the political affiliations of those Pak students rather than genuine solidarity.

The Pak defense minister said Pakistain had hosted Afghans for five decades, sharing its limited resources with millions of refugees during years of conflict in Afghanistan. He said Islamabad had hoped the withdrawal of NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
forces from Afghanistan in 2021 would lead to secure borders and peaceful relations between the two neighboring countries, but claimed that violence against Pakistain had instead continued.

Asif also said direct and indirect contacts between Pakistain’s military and civilian leadership and Afghan authorities have continued, but claimed those engagements had failed to reduce what he described as hostility toward Pakistain.
