“I do blame Pakistan. Over the years, we have seen videos, seen evidence that Pakistan is behind empowering the Taliban. Every time our government touches the Taliban, they see identification and it would see a Pakistani person, so it’s very obvious that I blame them and hope that they back off and don’t interfere in politics of Afghanistan anymore,” said Afghanistan’s pop star Aryana Sayeed in a meeting with ANI at a secret non-disclosed area.
She additionally stated that the Taliban oppressors are being schooled and prepared by Pakistan.
She further more went ahead and said, “They are being instructed by Pakistan, their bases are in Pakistan where they get their training. I hope the international community, first of all, cut off their funds and don’t offer funds to Pakistan for funding the Taliban.”
