The Afghan Taliban have initiated their Spring Offensive with vicious attacks like the one in Kabul, killing over sixty. And the Afghan government and media have turned their guns on Pakistan. Islamabad has been accused of providing Afghan Taliban support to launch attacks inside the country. The Afghan government is no more interested in seeking Pakistan’s assistance in bringing the Taliban to the negotiating table. Instead it wants Islamabad to launch a military operation against them while handing over to it the Taliban who happen to be in Pakistan. In an interview with Times of India Afghan Deputy Foreign Minister Hekmat Khalil Karzai has shown dissatisfaction with the quadrilateral dialogue demanding that all the four countries take action against the Taliban. He has meanwhile asked for Indian help.Border incidents between Pakistan and Afghanistan are taking place followed by protests from both sides.
