Thread: Unholy Nexus - Making Sense of What’s Going on in Afghanistan

Taliban’s strategic moves: Blessing for Pakistan! Exposed unholy nexus; intl & domestic. Recently, Kabul Regime’s engagements, @AzazSyed articles, NS-Mohib meeting & Indian interventions; all add perfectly!
.@AzazSyed met ex-NDS Chief & asked him about the solution of Pakistan’s problems; NDS Chief replied, @NawazSharifMNS was doing great & is the only solution to Pak’s problems.
Then, Mohib meets NS!
Why do our journalists need to ask NDS for the solution to Pakistan's problems?
Then, there is @ashrafghani's statement regarding LeT and Jaish, Aghan Army Chief’s visit to India, and Indian military aid to Afghanistan; connecting the obvious dots presents the evident connection of the unholy nexus at work!

Thread: The Birth of Naxalism in India

In February 1951’s meeting, the delegation was told to abandon violent revolution and participate through the democratic platforms. This has hugely influenced the CPI’s decision to abort the Telangana movement.
