- The ministry says that all clips uploaded by the Taliban regime are montages.
- He says the Kabul regime resorts to lies to appease the domestic audience.
- No statements by the Afghan Taliban or their media can be trusted, he adds.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Wednesday dismissed claims about the removal of barbed wire along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border as “fabricated and devoid of facts”.

The Pakistan-Afghanistan border stretches over 2,640 kilometers of rugged landscape, which is guarded only by Pakistan, while the Taliban regime works hand in hand with terrorists, smugglers and criminal mafias to infiltrate, he added.
The ministry said the complex dynamics of this border have already been explained several times by concerned security officials.
The social media post also referred to the November 29 press conference of Director General (DG) of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, during which he spoke about terrorist infiltration across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
All the clips uploaded by the Taliban regime media are staged, outdated and in line with the propaganda tactics of the “Kharjis” and the Taliban of appearing briefly to record the content and then fleeing, he added.
The ministry said that such content creation confirms not only the cowardly nature of these “Kharjis” and the Taliban but also how they live in an imaginary world of propaganda and deception.
The ministry said that the border fence between Pakistan and Afghanistan is completely intact and in fact all such attempts are met with a harsh and disproportionate response at the time.
He said that frustrated by the destruction of over 250 border posts, along with the capture of dozens of posts by Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in precise and targeted operations under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, the Afghan Taliban regime has resorted to a familiar litany of lies to satisfy its domestic audience.
The ministry further said that the Kabul regime and its Indian masters are known internationally for frivolous claims, ranging from the capture of a Pakistani tank to alleged successful drone strikes and even the capture of a Pakistani pilot in “shalwar qameez”, exposing their utter lack of credibility.
“No statements by the Afghan Taliban or their media can be trusted,” the ministry added.
