Sources said that the pro-Taliban Al Mirsad website, under pressure from Pakistan, was directed by the Taliban intelligence agency to halt the publication of critical content against Pakistan indefinitely.
Al Mirsad has recently published many reports and materials regarding the relations between Pakistan and ISIS.
According to the source, the Taliban ordered media officials to continue their anti-ISIS programmes.
Al-Mirsad website has been activated following the takeover of power by the Taliban and all the news related to ISIS is published on this website.
The decision to stop anti-Pakistani contents has been taken while two weeks ago, Al Mirsad published an article by Ehsanullah Ehsan, the former spokesperson of the Pakistani Taliban, in several languages, including Urdu, which faced reactions from the Pakistani government.
Al Mirsad reported that the Taliban shared information about ISIS with the governments of Pakistan and Iran. However, Pakistan has not taken any action against ISIS leaders within its territory.
According to the claim of the former spokesperson of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, ISIS members are kept in government hotels by Pakistan's intelligence.
In the article, Ehsan had claimed that ISIS has been tasked to defeat TTP and shift the war from Pakistan to Afghanistan.
Sources added that Pakistan has officially complained to the Taliban that Al-Mirsad website broadcasts contents against Pakistan.
Publishing news against ISIS in Al Mirsad website, the Taliban aim to prevent the publication of reports related to ISIS in other domestic media under their control, ensuring that it does not negatively impact public opinion.
