If anyone is happiest after the Taliban took over Afghanistan, it is Pakistan. Taliban flags are waving in the capital of Islamabad. Celebration processions and rallies were taken out. The Imran Khan government is trying its best to get the Taliban government recognized by the world. Now Pakistan's former diplomat Hussain Haqqani has given a direct warning to the Pak government, army and ISI. According to Haqqani, the celebration of the victory of the Taliban in Pakistan is going to cost them very soon. According to Haqqani – the world is watching and Pakistan will have to bear the brunt of this celebration at many levels.

Pakistan is in turmoil

In an interview given to CNBC News, Haqqani clearly said – It is not as easy as the Pakistani rulers and responsible are understanding the issue. Imran Khan says- Taliban broke the chains of slavery. Foreign Minister Qureshi and NSA Moeed Yusuf are trying their best to get the world's recognition and help to the Taliban regime. It seems that Pakistan and the Taliban are gone. For 20 years, Pakistan has secretly helped the Taliban. Now with his antics, he himself has brought the evidence of this in front of the world.

The spirit of the Pakistan

Hussain says – there is no difference between the Afghan Taliban and the Pakistan Taliban (TTP). Both are one. Both are Pashtuns. TTP carried out two fidayeen attacks in Pakistan last week. After the victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the spirit of the Pakistan Taliban is high and it gets a lot of support there. TTP will now do in Pakistan what the Afghan Taliban has done in their country and the Afghan Taliban will not be able to stop it. Afghan Taliban is the elder brother and Pakistan is the younger one. If one has won, the other will not sit quietly and its leaders are announcing it in the American media.

Durand Line

Both the Afghan Taliban and the TTP do not believe in the Durand Line. Will the Government of Pak, the Army, and ISI be able to compete with both of them? Pakistan has further fueled the anger by fencing there. They are asking for the Pashtun homeland, so how will they keep silent? If the Afghan Taliban cared so much for Pak, would they release thousands of TTP people from their prisons? Now, these dreaded terrorists will target Pakistan. The effect is starting to show. Blast or firing every day.

Taliban needs India

The Afghan Taliban wants the world to recognize their rule. They are pleading, talking to the world's largest democracy like India. Who cares about Pakistan? If big countries give recognition and help, then the Taliban government will overcome the same difficulties. Pakistan can deceively help them in war, but not in running the government. What do they have to give?

Another pressure on Pakistan

Haqqani says – If the Taliban rule is banned, then it will have a direct impact on Pakistan. There is a large number of people who support the Taliban. He cannot stop the Afghan refugees on the border. Nothing will happen by fencing it, because the Durand Line is not considered by the Taliban at all. Pak has already lost the trust of the world by supporting the Taliban. It has become clear that the government and army there support terrorism.

The last question asked – 

According to Haqqani- Pak should be the first to tell the world that if it is so concerned about getting recognition of the Talibani rule, then why has it not done this work itself till now. Why doesn't it recognize Afghan Taliban rule? Now whatever happens in Afghanistan will have a direct impact on Pak. There will be neither relief from Afghanistan nor from the world.
