Amid escalating Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions, India's MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal outlined three clear positions: Pakistan hosts terrorist organizations and sponsors activities, habitually blames neighbors for internal failures, and resents Afghanistan asserting sovereignty over its territory. India reaffirmed unwavering commitment to Afghanistan's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence while closely monitoring the situation. Jaiswal announced India's technical mission in Kabul will transition into a full-fledged embassy soon, marking a significant diplomatic upgrade. The statement comes as cross-border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan continue following Pakistani airstrikes and Afghan retaliation. India's position emphasizes support for Afghan autonomy while directly criticizing Pakistan's longstanding practice of harboring terrorist groups and deflecting responsibility onto neighboring nations.
