Brigadier, Retired, Said Nazir (Defense Analyst): The West and peace spoilers had spread many rumors regarding the post-Taliban take over situation in Afghanistan. The Taliban have shunned their mouths with a positive and peaceful gesture. They announced general amenity and no revenge policy for everyone. It is appreciable that Taliban have taken over the power in such a peaceful manner. The people of Afghanistan must stay calm because Today's Taliban are different from the 90's Taliban. Afghanistan has been a war torn country for the last 4 decades. It is time for the Afghan people to enjoy peace and stability. Pakistan does not want any peace spoilers in Afghanistan. We expect an inclusive government in Kabul. Pakistan has always worked hard for global peace. India must refrain from interfering in Afghanistan internal matters. India's days of using Afghan soil against Pakistan have gone. India is frustrated due to Taliban take over because it would minimize India's negative role in Afghanistan. Pakistan has facilitated global power in the peace process. Pakistan has been facilitating the world by evacuating foreigners from Afghanistan. India's only concern in Afghanistan is to jeopardize peace in Pakistan.

Dr. Huma Baqai (Expert on International Relations): India is frustrated because its investment in Afghanistan to harm Pakistan is wasted. Taliban takeover would minimize India's negative role in Afghanistan. The peaceful takeover of the Taliban has surprised the whole world. India is left with the only option to spoil the situation through media warfare. India desires coax in Afghanistan as it serves India's strategic interests. Pakistan believes in regional connectivity and India is isolated in the region. India must positively engage with regional countries for regional development and prosperity. Taliban are the future of Afghanistan and India must revisit its relationship with Taliban. The regional powers have acknowledged the Taliban's ruling. Taliban categorically have given their message of peace to every segment of society. It is appreciable that the Taliban have warned India not to use its land against Pakistan. India's nefarious agenda is posing a serious threat to regional peace and security.

Dr. Talat Wizarat (Expert on International Relations):  The United States has destroyed the Muslim world through negative tactics. Hopefully, the Taliban would maintain peace and stability in Afghanistan. Turmoil and chaos in Afghanistan would have a deep impact on Pakistan and other parts of the world. India must refrain from using Afghan soil for its malicious agenda. India has been playing a role of peace spoiler in the region. We must support the new government in Afghanistan to minimize the Indian role in Afghanistan. The regional powers must make collective efforts to maintain peace in Afghanistan. We support a pro Afghanistan and pro Pakistan government in Afghanistan. Pakistan is playing a responsible role for an inclusive set up in Kabul.

Dr. Lutf-ur Rehman (IR Expert):  India financed and facilitated terrorists in Afghanistan in the past to destabilize peace in Pakistan. Taliban's takeover is a positive development for Pakistan as India would not be able to use Afghan soil against Pakistan. Taliban have clearly stated that Taliban would not allow India to use its land against Pakistan. The law and order situation in Afghanistan is gradually improving. The people of Afghanistan are safe under Taliban rule. India cannot succeed in its efforts to destabilize Pakistan through cheap tactics.
