America’s former ambassador to Afghanistan, Zalmai Khalil Zad said that Pakistan has not taken any action to change its policy against Afghanistan and never stood by its commitments in Peace talks with Afghan government.

US former ambassador to Afghanistan in his recent speech has said that Pakistan has only been talking of cooperation and has not any commitments for cooperation with Afghan government in Peace Talks.

Khalil Zad noted that Afghan government hopes to improve relations with Pakistan but in addition to continue Peace Talks, it should takes preparations to fight against Taliban.

He stressed that in his trip to Pakistan a few years ago, former Pakistani president, Parwez Musharaf denied its country’s support from Taliban but now Musharaf claims that they supported Taliban.

“Afghanistan should demand Pakistan to take action by its commitments. Afghan government should be ready to fight against terrorism in the country.” Khalil Zad said.

Political analysts count relations between the two countries as a factor in pushing forward peace talks with the Taliban. But Islamabad’s flip-flop in relations with Kabul has always been a sore point.

In the meantime, Afghan Senate domestic security commission said that with the given past policies of Pakistan, this country has never been honest by its commitments against Afghanistan and the government should be should be very cautious in its policies against Pakistan.

Mirdad Nijrabi, head of Senate domestic security commission said, “The government should take serious measures for peace and war and never abandon the battlefield for peace.”

Farooq Nazari, a representative in Parliament said, “We expect Pakistan’s position changes against Afghanistan because war in Afghanistan means war in Pakistan and the two nation will suffer.”

While the statements express that after the formation of national unity government, meetings between Kabul-Islamabad officials become more prosperous.

According to Afghan analysts, Afghan government should not deceived by Pakistan’s policies.

Sanaullah Ghaffari, also known as Shahab al-Muhajar, is reportedly the ISIS-Khorasan (Daesh) branch leader and is holed up in Pakistan, Reuters reports.

The 29-year-old took over as leader in 2020 and under his leadership the group has carried out extreme attacks as a means of recruiting, Reuters reported.

Reuters noted that little was known about Ghafari before the deadly 2021 ISIS attack on Kabul Airport, which killed 170 Afghan civilians and 13 American soldiers.

But after Friday’s deadly attack in a concert hall in Moscow, which left 139 people dead, Ghaffari’s group has come under intense scrutiny.

Reuters reports that Ghaffari is said to have been involved in several attacks in Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

Pakistani officials said months ago that Ghaffari had been killed in Kunar province in Afghanistan in June last year, but Reuters has reported that he did not die and instead fled to Pakistan and lives in the border province of Baluchistan.

Abdul Matin Qani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan, says that Daesh has been suppressed in Afghanistan for more than two years and has lost its operational capacity.

The last attack carried out by Daesh in Afghanistan was the attack on the Kabul Bank office in Kandahar last week which left three dead and 12 wounded.

IPL: Sunrisers thump MI in record breaking match

(Last Updated On: March 28, 2024)

It was raining records at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday with the hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clinching a 31-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 8 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Sunrisers’ batting rewrote the record books on a batting belter after the posted 277 for three.

SRH now have the highest team score in the history of the IPL – beating Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) 263 for five from the 2013 season.

In reply, MI made a spirited effort, and at one stage, were contenders to do the near impossible. In the slog overs, the enormity of the target proved a bit too much, and SRH clinched victory, but not without numerous nervous moments.

To put into perspective the carnage we witnessed – Heinrich Klaasen’s 23-ball half-century was the slowest fifty of the SRH innings.

Travis Head, playing his first match for SRH, raced to the milestone in 18 balls. Abhishek Sharma got there even faster – in 16 balls – to record the quickest fifty by an SRH batter in IPL history.

While Sunrisers notched up the highest total in the 16-year history of the IPL, just as incredibly, Mumbai Indians almost paid them back with the same coin, their batters coming out with a nothing-to-lose attitude.

The sixes kept rolling off the Mumbai bats too, helping them keep up with the asking rate for most of the chase, eventually however, they ran out of steam and finished on 246 for 5, the highest IPL total in a losing cause.

As ESPNcricinfo reported, never were more runs scored in a men’s T20 match (523). Never were most sixes hit in a men’s T20 (38). At the end of the close to four-hour six-fest, only two bowlers returned with an economy rate of under ten an over.

Thursday, March 28 : Match 9

Thursday’s match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur sees Rajasthan Royals go up against Delhi Capitals.

Fans in Afghanistan can tune in to Ariana Television to watch the match live from 6.30pm. Alternatively the match can be screened live on arianatelevision.com
