Islamabad – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Pakistan has firmly rejected the Nuristan allegations made by the Afghan Taliban regime. On Sunday, Islamabad said the claims were false, baseless and had no truth in them.
The Taliban had linked Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies to violence in Afghanistan’s Nuristan province. Pakistan denied every part of that claim.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a fact-check statement. It said Pakistan never recruited or trained former Afghan security personnel. It also said Pakistan never helped Daesh or any other terrorist group in Afghanistan.
The ministry pointed out that Kabul had shown no proof. There were no names, no documents, no messages and no forensic evidence. No independent party had confirmed anything either.
What the Taliban Claimed
The fact-check answered a statement from the Taliban’s Ministry of Defence. That statement said groups linked to Daesh had crossed the Durand Line into Kamdesh district in Nuristan. It said they came with the support of Pakistani militias.
The Taliban said their forces killed 28 of the alleged intruders. They also said 32 were captured alive. According to them, the rest ran back across the border.
The ministry also rejected a video shared on social media to back these claims. It said the video showed only a few unarmed men. They were not properly dressed or equipped.

Pakistan said the clip looked like a planned video shoot. It added that the Taliban regime is known for lies and made-up claims.
Reports Point to Afghan Soil
The statement pointed to reports from the United Nations and other neutral international bodies. These reports describe terrorist groups operating inside Afghanistan.
Pakistan said blaming others cannot hide this fact. In its view, these groups still find shelter and room to grow on Afghan land.
The ministry also called the accusation ironic. Terrorist groups working from Afghanistan continue to threaten Pakistan and the wider region, it said.
A Call for Real Action
Pakistan urged the Taliban regime to take credible and verifiable action against terrorist groups. It also asked Kabul to keep its promise that Afghan land will not be used for terror against any country.
Islamabad said Kabul should stop shifting blame with made-up stories. It also said the Taliban’s claims were an attempt to divert attention from internal dissent. The ministry added that this hides the regime’s harsh treatment of women, children and minorities.
Envoy Summoned Over Drone Incident
In a separate step, Pakistan’s Foreign Office summoned Afghan Ambassador Sardar Ahmad Shakib. It gave him a formal demarche over an alleged violation of Pakistani airspace.
The Foreign Office spokesperson said the protest was about a drone incident on September 23. The demarche was delivered to the Afghan side on Saturday.
Through it, Pakistan formally shared its concerns about the incident. Tensions between the two neighbours remain high as both sides trade accusations.
