Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has made alarming accusations claiming Afghanistan is acting as India's proxy to spread terrorism in Pakistan. The statement comes after peace talks in Istanbul collapsed, with Asif threatening a response "50 times stronger" if Afghanistan attacks. Tensions escalated when Pakistan admitted to an agreement with the US allowing drone operations from its territory, prompting Afghan negotiators to withdraw from discussions.
