Islamabad:
A leader of the Pakistani ruling government Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which has admitted without surprise the close ties of the Pakistani army with the Taliban and its agenda against India, has spoken of the presence of aid to the Taliban in Kashmir during a television program on the air.
During a televised news debate, PTI leader Neelam Irshad Sheikh said the Taliban have announced they will join hands with Pakistan in Kashmir.
“The Taliban say they are with us and will help us in Kashmir,” Sheikh said during the program.
However, earlier the Taliban had claimed that Kashmir is the “internal and bilateral” issue of India.
Alarmed by the statement from the PTI leader, the news presenter said, “Madam, do you realize what you have said? You have no idea what you have said. For God’s sake madam, this program will be broadcast around the world. This can be seen in India. “
However, an Irshad Sheikh, who was not affected or worried, went on to say that “the Taliban will help us because they have been mistreated.”
Earlier, the Afghan government had accused Pakistan and its intelligence service of playing a key role in promoting the Taliban.
