Islamabad rubbishes Pak-Afghan border fence removal claims as ‘devoid of facts'

• Ministry says all clips uploaded by Taliban regime are staged.
• Says Kabul regime resorts to lies to appease domestic audience.
• Any claims by Afghan Taliban, their media cannot be trusted, it adds.
  

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Wednesday dismissed claims regarding the removal of barbed wire along the Pak-Afghan border as “fabricated and devoid of facts”.  

The ministry's fact-check X handle strongly condemned fake claims made by mouthpieces of the Afghan Taliban regime and India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

The Pak-Afghan border spans over 2,640 kilometres of rugged landscape, which is guarded only by Pakistan, while the Taliban regime works hand in glove with terrorists, smugglers and criminal mafia to infiltrate, it added.  

The ministry said that the complex dynamics of this border have already been explained multiple times by concerned security officials.

The social media post also referred to the November 29 press conference by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, during which he spoke about terrorist infiltration through the Pak-Afghan border.

All the clips uploaded by Taliban regime outlets are staged, outdated and in line with the "Kharjis" and Taliban’s propaganda tactics of appearing briefly to record content and then fleeing, it added.

The ministry said that such content creation confirms not only the cowardly nature of these "Kharjis" and the Taliban but also how they live in a make-believe world of propaganda and deceit.

The ministry said that Pak-Afghan border fence is fully intact and in fact all such attempts are given a heavy and disproportionate response there and then.

It said that frustrated by the destruction of more than 250 border posts, along with the capture of dozens of posts by Pakistan's law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in precise and targeted operations under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, the Afghan Taliban regime has resorted to a familiar litany of lies to satisfy their domestic audience.

The ministry further said that the Kabul regime and their Indian masters are internationally known for frivolous claims, ranging from capture of a Pakistani tank, to supposed successful drone strikes, and even capture of a Pakistani pilot in “shalwar qameez”, exposing their absolute lack of credibility.

“Any claims by the Afghan Taliban or their media cannot be trusted,” the ministry added.
