Pakistan has conveyed a straight message to Afghan Taliban to immediately stop their ongoing spring offensive or face consequences.

The Express Tribune, a Pakistani reliable news agency, quotes an unnamed source who is aware of Islamabad’s this move saying that Kabul is also in the loop.

“The Afghan authorities have also been in the loop,” he is quoted as saying.

The source is further saying that Afghan Taliban could face a joint action by Pakistan and Afghanistan if they do not immediately call off their offensive.

The unprecedented step by Pakistan is taken as reports indicate that Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) which is long blamed for supporting militant groups in Afghanistan recently made the arrangements for Afghan Taliban and representatives from Afghan High Peace Council to meet in China and discuss steps for initiating peace talks.

Pakistan is concerned that India’s spy agency is using Afghan territory against Pakistan a blame that is turned baseless.

Pakistan’s intelligence agency seeks self-style support from the intelligence agency of Afghanistan on counter-terrorism but their promise of responding with same manner is still doubtful to several Afghan leaders and politicians based on its damaged image in Afghanistan.
