Delhi Attack Orchestrated from Pakistan, says Taliban

DID Press: Senior Taliban official Hanfi Wardak claimed that the recent attack in India’s capital was orchestrated from Pakistani soil, warning that the activities of militant groups not only threaten Afghanistan’s security but also regional stability.

Wardak, in a post on X social media platform, said that militant groups operating from Pakistan endanger the security of neighboring countries and the broader region. He cited the recent Delhi incident as an example, asserting that the origin of the attack traces back to Pakistan.

Indian media reported that a parked car exploded near the Red Fort in Delhi on Sunday night, killing nine people.

Recent border clashes along the Durand Line between Pakistan and the Taliban have intensified historical tensions in trilateral relations with India. India accused Pakistan of “undermining regional stability” and called for international monitoring.

Long-standing disputes over the Durand Line and Pakistani accusations that the Taliban harbor militant groups have become major points of contention. Tensions have risen further following the visit of Taliban acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to India and the failure of three rounds of Taliban-Pakistan peace talks in Qatar and Turkey.
