Days after Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah warned of an assault on Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) hideouts in Afghanistan, Taliban chief Ahmad Yasir mocked Islamabad with an image of Pakistan’s give up to India in 1971 that marked the formation of Bangladesh. He additionally warned Pakistan to steer clear of Afghanistan to keep away from shame.

“Interior Minister of Pakistan! Excellent Sir! Afghanistan, Syria and Pakistan are not Turkey to target the Kurds in Syria. This is Afghanistan, the graveyard of proud empires. Do not think of a military attack on us, otherwise there will be a shameful repetition of the military agreement with India,” Yasir said a tweet while sharing the iconic photo of Pakistani Army’s commander in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) Lieutenant General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi accepting defeat and signing the ‘Instrument of Surrender’ in Dhaka in the presence of General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of Indian and Bangladesh Forces in Eastern Theatre Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora in 1971.

Last week, the Pakistan minister had said that Pakistan may target Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) hideouts in Afghanistan if authorities in Kabul failed to take any action against them. He went on to say that “the international laws give you the right to target those who attack you”, Dawn reported.

Around 93,000 Pakistani troops had surrendered before the joint forces of the Indian Army and the “Mukti Bahini” on December 16, 1971. This paved means for the start of Bangladesh.
