Pakistan, a parasite

 Pakistan, a parasite state and it's complicity with the Taliban:

Soon after capture of Kabul by the Taliban, on this date of last month, Pakistani PM, Imran Khan's immediate reaction, "Afghan breaks shackles of slavery." A short time later, chief of ISI, the most clandestine organisation of the world, dashed to Kabul on a surprise visit, holding a meeting with his counterparts from countries in the region with the begging bowl. He is the man, orchestrated in the formation of the Taliban led Afghanistan govt. in Kabul as evident from the composition of Afghanistan govt. Concurrently he pledged for Pakistan's support to Afghanistan to get rid of the deepening humanitarian crisis and to take steps to prevent economic meltdown. In a display of solidarity, Pakistan sent three plane loads of relief to Kabul; however, reports indicate these were photo-ops with limited aid.

All political and military entities in Pakistan are singing the same tune of global economic and humanitarian support to Afghanistan. The main reason behind this is that Pakistan itself is  in financial doldrums and facing food shortages. It cannot afford to fund and feed an additional 40 million without global support.

 But when the world was demanding an inclusive govt. in Kabul with emphasis on women and children, in return for financial support, Pakistan was engaged in creating a govt. in Kabul dominated by pro-Pak elements. The current dispensation in Kabul includes 30 Pashtuns, two Tajiks and one Uzbek. Incidentally, the North Western part of Pakistan is often referred to as the PASHTUNISTAN region where 44 million of Pashtuns, almost 20% of Pak population lives. Whereas, the Pashtun population in Afghanistan itself is just about 15 million out of about a total of 40 million people.

Pakistan has always been a parasite state - holding hands of super powers, it's all weather ally China and USA post 9/11. The country has ever acted as a sanctuary of terrorists as evidenced by providing shelter to the world's most wanted terrorist al-Qiada supremo, Osama bin Laden (I put all the the extremist groups like al-Qaida, Taliban, Mujahideen etc. under the same bracket) in Abbotabad for years, on the nose of ISI head quarters, before being located and killed by American Navy SEAL. At the same time it professed to be a US ally in its fight against global terrorism and in the process obtaining substantial aid in terms of dollars, the signs of all parasites that feed on its host.
