Pakistan played disruptive role in Afghanistan, provided support to Taliban: Report
India Today
A Congressional Research Service report has stated that Pakistan, through support to the Taliban, played a disruptive and destabilising role in Afghanistan.
A US Congressional Research Service (CRS) has accused Pakistan of playing a disruptive and destabilising role in Afghanistan. It also said Pakistan provided, "active and passive support to the Taliban."
"Pakistan has long played an active and, by many accounts, disruptive and destabilising role in Afghan affairs, including through the provision of active and passive support to the Taliban. Many observers see the Taliban's takeover (of Afghanistan) as a substantive triumph for Pakistan, bolstering its influence in Afghanistan and advancing its decades-long efforts to limit Indian influence there," the report said.
