Triumpf militants of the radical movement “Taliban” (a terrorist organization forbidden in Russia) in Afghanistan caused the growth of tensions between India and Pakistan. About it reports The Wall Street Journal.
According to WSJ, two nuclear powers for a long time supported the opposite sides in Afghanistan and accused each other in helping terrorists. So, the victory of the Taliban strengthened the influence of their supporting Pakistan in the region. Such a state of affairs provoked concerns about the safety of India, in particular, the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian authorities stated that they did not believe in the promise of militants to combat terrorists in the Afghan territory. The former Ambassador of India in Afghanista Amar Sinha concluded that the victory of Taliban will give the impetus to radical ideology and groups with a similar orientation not only in nearby countries, but also around the world. “It will also push Pakistan to continue using terror as part of its state policy,” the diplomat indicated.
August 30 reported that after the withdrawal of US troops from the territory of Afghanistan in Jammu and Kashmir in the north of India, terrorists were activated. It is noted that at the moment there are at least six terrorist groups in the Indian state. They plan attacks on strategic goals.
The territory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir is actually divided between India and Pakistan, although each side claims full control over the region. A large number of Indian and Pakistani troops constitrate on the delimitation line. The staff is considered one of the most restricted in India. The unrecognized state of Azad Kashmir, de facto part of Pakistan, also claims the entire territory of the region.
