In a significant diplomatic shift, India has initiated talks with the Taliban-led Afghan government following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed multiple Indian tourists. As Pakistan scrambles diplomatically and militarily, India's outreach to Kabul marks a major tactical move. A high-level Indian delegation met Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, discussing regional developments and strengthening ties. The Taliban condemned the Pahalgam attack and reassured India of non-hostile intent. This move comes amid deteriorating Pakistan-Taliban relations and signals New Delhi’s growing influence in the region. PM Modi has granted the armed forces full operational freedom to respond to the attack. (PC: India Today)
