On April 1, 2026, Pakistan's Ministry of Information firmly denied reports suggesting the removal of barbed wire along the Pak-Afghan border. The Ministry labeled these reports as 'fabricated and baseless,' attributing them to propaganda efforts by the Afghan Taliban regime and India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). The Durand Line, which demarcates the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, extends for 2,640 kilometers and remains under stringent security by Pakistani forces. The Ministry emphasized that the Taliban collaborates with terrorists, smugglers, and criminal organizations to breach this border. In a statement, the Ministry referred to a briefing on November 25 by DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, who highlighted the challenges of cross-border terrorist infiltration. He noted incidents where Afghan forces allegedly fired on Pakistani checkposts to aid terrorist entry. The Ministry also addressed a post from an account named Afghanistan Defence, which falsely claimed rapid progress in removing the border fence. The Ministry dismissed these claims as staged content, consistent with Taliban propaganda tactics designed to mislead and manipulate perceptions. Looking ahead, Pakistan remains committed to maintaining border security and countering misinformation. Future diplomatic engagements and security briefings are expected to reinforce these efforts.
