Taliban’s Stanekzai & Pak’s Durrani Argue Over Retaliatory Measures

Pakistan's former representative to Afghanistan and the Taliban's deputy foreign minister have been arguing over recent retaliatory measures on the social media platform X network.

In response to Abbas Stanikzai, Durrani said in a sarcastic tone, "He is not a good suicide bomber. Let us teach the next generation to live, not to die."

Asif Durrani, Pakistan's former representative to Afghanistan, wrote on his X social media account, "The recent exchange with Afghanistan is regrettable, but it should be a lesson for the friends and brothers of the Afghan Taliban."

In the note, he stressed that the TTP is a red line and no one should be allowed to cross it.

In response to the post, Abbas Stanikzai wrote in a warning message that Pakistan should "learn from the recent "retaliation" actions by Taliban fighters. "Anyone who looked at us and our country with bad intentions, we have taken out their eyes with great anger," the Taliban's deputy foreign minister wrote in the post.

In response to this message, Pakistan's former representative to Afghanistan sarcastically called on the Taliban's deputy foreign minister to take a logical path.

Asif Durrani wrote, "May God give you more wisdom, Stanikzai. It is not right to take the path of suicide. It is better to teach the next generation how to live, not how to die."

Tensions between Pakistani officials and the Taliban have escalated.
