Pakistan to give visa facility to TalibanIndia had announced 50,000 tonnes of wheat as humanitarian aid and requested Pakistan to allow the country’s roadway to be used to transport grain to Kabul. However, Pakistan did not respond to this request. After the meeting, the Taliban issued a statement saying that Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan has promised that there will be a lot of convenience in Afghan transit from Pakistan. Indian aided wheat was allowed to reach Afghanistan through Wagah port and also facilitated visa services.
Pakistan itself is suffering from shortage of wheat, doing ‘dirty’ politicsImran Khan’s tone has changed after meeting with Taliban ministers. Pakistan itself is facing a severe shortage of wheat, forcing it to import the grain. Pakistan is doing dirty politics in the matter of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. In any case, he does not want Indian aid to defeat his own small efforts, as it will make India appear in a better light than Pakistan.
