In a meeting with Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, leader of Pakistan's Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, reassured that Afghanistan, under the group’s control, poses no threat to Pakistan.

He called for discussions based on facts rather than claims and media narratives between the two countries.

Kabir also aimed to deliver the Taliban's firm message to Islamabad about their commitment of not allowing Afghan soil to be used against other nations, particularly Pakistan.

With the increase in instability in Pakistan, the country has repeatedly accused the Taliban of sheltering the Pakistani Taliban and facilitating attacks against Pakistan from Afghan soil.

Taliban has repeatedly denied these allegations.

The Pakistani government disclosed details about suicide bombers within its borders, indicating that their attacks were planned in Afghanistan.

In response, the Taliban have suggested that Pakistan should address its issues with these militants to avert attacks by the Pakistani Taliban. However, Islamabad has dismissed the Pakistani Taliban's demands as unreasonable.

Islamabad's pressure on the Taliban, especially the deportation of about half a million immigrants, caused the Taliban to invite Fazal-ur-Rehman to visit Kabul. However, it is not clear what message the Taliban is sending to Pakistan through this religious figure who has close relations with the army and intelligence of the country.

According to the Taliban, Fazal-ur-Rehman condemned the deportation of Afghan immigrants in this meeting and emphasised on solving the problems with the Pakistani government through dialogue.

Taliban’s deputy prime minister also urged Pakistan to stop inappropriate behaviour with Afghan immigrants.
