Pakistan Condemns Afghan Taliban Regime as Illegal, Oppressive

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Atta Tarar strongly condemned the Afghan Taliban regime, describing it as an illegal and oppressive system of government.

In a statement, the minister accused the Taliban of supporting terrorist groups, providing training to militants, and allowing Afghan territory to be used for attacks against Pakistan, including incidents in Islamabad and Tarlai. He said Pakistan has effectively responded to the Taliban’s aggression and has taken over several Afghan checkpoints along the border.

Highlighting human rights abuses in Afghanistan, Tarar said women, children, and minorities remain unsafe under Taliban rule. He condemned the regime’s systematic denial of education and employment for women, closure of universities, and restrictions on basic freedoms. According to the minister, 80% of Afghan women have been kept away from education, a practice widely condemned internationally.

“The Afghan Taliban regime has nothing to do with Islam,” he said, calling the system one of oppression, elite-based discrimination, and violation of fundamental rights. Tarar emphasized that the Taliban’s actions contravene international law and global human rights standards, including the Cairo Declaration, which prohibits violence against women.

The minister’s remarks come amid heightened tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with Islamabad asserting its right to self-defense and condemning the Afghan Taliban’s support for terrorism emanating from Afghan soil.
