The role of Pakistan in activating the Taliban is a victory for Hardliners: US main senator
Written by news2in

WASHINGTON: The role of Pakistan in allowing the Taliban is a victory for the hard people in the country’s government, a member of the American top parliament, stressed that the ongoing developments in Afghanistan and the role played by Islamabad in Kabul did not send good messages to India.
Senator Republic Marco Rubio, during the hearing of Congress in Afghanistan on Thursday, said some US administration was guilty of ignoring the role of Pakistan in helping the Taliban to regroup, when other US senators expressed concerns over “multiple transactions”.
“India …
I know that there is an announcement today, there will be a fairly fast quad meeting, which is a good development, except that the Indo-Pacific region, if you are India, you see this and say this, ‘if the United States Allows Pakistan to uncover their position, “he said.” Because of the role of Pakistan in all this – and I think many administrators are guilty of ignoring it.
The role of Pakistan in allowing the Taliban in the end is a victory for those pro-Taliban Hardliners in the Pakistani government, “Rubio said to Blinken .
US President Joe Biden will host the first quad on-person summit on September 24 in Washington which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Japan Yoshihide Suga Premier Kretary Jen PSAKI said on Monday.
“They (Indians) have to see this and say if the United States can have, you know, third grade strength like Pakistan revealed its purpose, the possibility of what they have about Confronting China? So, I think this makes us in a terrible situation,” Rubio said during the hearing of the Congress against Afghanistan organized by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He said that so far, while the Taliban suffered from victims, they enjoyed a safe place in Pakistan.
“They can go there to rest, to repair, train, to recruit.
So, in summary, even before withdrawal, we have a terrible status quo.
Security forces, a small number of US troops, you know, continue to die,” he said.
Senator Mike Rounds said Pakistan considered the Taliban government as a partner to fight India.
Rounds said Iranian President had openly called this as an American military defeat and was considering working with the Taliban.
In his remarks, Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, talked about “dealing with Pakistan” and “Providing a safe place” to the Taliban.
Senator James Risch told Blinken that the United States must understand the role of Pakistan in all of these problems.
Blinken on Monday told US parliamenters who were angry that the US would see the role of Pakistan played in the last 20 years after parliamentarians expressed anger over the “duplicit” section of Pakistan in Afghanistan Post 9/11 and demanded his relationship with Islamabad.
The US Parliament members also urged the Biden government to re-assess the status of Pakistan as non-NATO’s main allies.
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, two weeks before the US would complete withdrawal of troops.
