Days after rushing to appropriate Hindu civilisation, Pakistan DG ISPR invokes Quran to reject Afghan Taliban’s friendship with Kafir India

It has been 79 years since the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was carved out of an undivided India. However, the self-declared Riyasat-e-Medina’s identity crisis refuses to subside. For decades, Pakistan erased its Hindu history and Islamised its society. Pakistani Muslims falsely claimed Arab, Turk, and Persian ancestry despite being descendants of converted Hindus. In a fresh demonstration of the Hindu hatred Pakistan harbours, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, DG ISPR, invoked a Quranic verse to delegitimise the Afghan Taliban’s Islamic credentials over the “India-Afghan shared DNA” remark by a Taliban minister, and growing friendship between ‘Kafir India’ and ‘Islamic Afghanistan’. During a press conference in Rawalpindi, Pakistan Army official Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry was asked about the strengthening India-Afghanistan relations and Afghan Agriculture Minister and Taliban leader Mawlawi Attaullah Omari’s remarks that India and Afghanistan “share the same DNA”. Omari made these comments on 10th July 2026 during his visit to India. Taliban Agriculture Minister on India:It feels as if I am among my own people. It feels like our own country. The people of India and Afghanistan have one DNA. pic.twitter.com/X3FU1LliJz— Shashank Mattoo (@MattooShashank) July 10, 2026 Behaving like a true Madarsa-bred bigot, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry invoked a verse from Surah Imran of the Islamic text Quran, which commands Muslims not to befriend Kafirs or non-believers, essentially all non-Muslims. Chaudhry suggested that because the Taliban is bolstering ties with a Hindu kafir, India, and saying that India and Afghanistan have shared DNA, the Taliban is no longer Muslim. Source: Quran.com “Allah Almighty has made it very clear: do not take the disbelievers (kafirs) as your friends/protectors. If you do so, then you are no longer among the Muslims. So, this is not about DNA alone. We need to understand what this DNA actually represents and what their real relationship is…Yes, there is something in common. But the Maulvi Sahib grew emotional and ended up saying more than he should have, believing they were somehow very close. No—what is common is their DNA in that sense,” Chaudhry said. DG ISPR (@OfficialDGISPR ) really dropped a masterclass in trolling both India and the Afghan Taliban minister in one go! The response to that "Same DNA" claim was brutal. pic.twitter.com/XuPoh0K8O9— Voice Of Bangladeshi Muslims (@VOBMUSLIMs) August 1, 2026 He further deemed the relations between India’s Modi government and Afghanistan’s Taliban regime as that of a master and slave. “The real relationship between the Indian BJP/RSS and the Taliban regime is that of a master and a slave. The oppressive system in India is their master, and they are its servants. What is the RSS doing? What is this so-called Hindu Rashtra doing? It is oppressing Muslims, oppressing Kashmiris, committing injustice. And what are they doing? They are serving that agenda even more than them. What kind of Islam is this? They are doing an even greater disservice,” Chaudhry said. After becoming a puppet of the US, Pakistan shows audacity to discredit Afghan Taliban’s Islamic credentials: Hypocrisy of the ‘Islamic Republic’ Across its over seven decades of existence, Pakistan has relentlessly been Islamising and de-Hinduising its society and culture. Both military dictators and army-backed ‘democratic’ governments have domestically pushed a stricter Muslim identity, forced and factually incorrect claiming of Arab, Turk and Persian ancestry to fully cut off their Hindu roots. And yet, the Pakistan Army with its motto of ‘Jihad fi-Sabilillah’ has had no qualms in befriending ‘Kafir’ countries and leaders across the world. While Pakistan’s brief and disgraceful history serves many examples, none exemplifies the boastful Islamic Republic’s hypocrisy better than its relations with the United States under President Donald Trump. It is a known fact that the US is the biggest supporter of Israel, the very Jewish state that Pakistan does not even officially recognise as a country. From massive military aid and diplomatic backing to joint technology development and more, the US has openly been supporting Israel. Now, Israel is hated by Muslims across the world for its war against the Palestinian Islamic terror group Hamas, and supposed ‘genocide’ of Muslims in Gaza. Israel, alongside the US, has also been embroiled in a war with Pakistan’s Islamic neighbour Iran. Israel is also engaged in a conflict with Iran’s proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon. And none of Israel’s military offensives is being conducted without the backing of the US. Despite Trump’s open support for the supposed ‘genocidaire’ of Muslims, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025. Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif’s over-dramatic and embarrassing sycophancy in service of Trump at global forums is also globally known and laughed at. From cryptocurrency deals, Balochistan mining agreement, to toeing America’s line in the Iran-US negotiations, Pakistan has traded its own Islamic credentials for geopolitical interests. Pakistan has not only befriended ‘Zalim Kafir’ America and Trump but also offered itself as a useful slave. Moreover, Pakistan has an ‘iron brother’ in the atheist and communist China, another known oppressor of Muslims. Pakistan claims to be a champion of the Muslim Ummah, and yet it has built deep ties with China, the country that invents unique methods to torment and humiliate Uyghur Muslims. Even if the ‘Modi oppressing Indian Muslims’ bogey Pakistan peddles is to be believed, it is not even one per cent of what China does to Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s co-religionists in China or in Islamic countries America bombed for years. Pakistan’s hypocrisy is amusing. When Pakistan befriends America, the country the Muslim world considers its Kafir enemy number one, and Trump, who himself is a Kafir, Islamabad frames it as ‘realpolitik’. However, when the Afghan Taliban builds good relations with an all-weather friend, India, and boasts a shared DNA, which has no relation with religion, Pakistan cancels the Islamic credentials of the Afghan Taliban, declaring them no less than Kafir Hindus. If the Quranic commands of not befriending Kafirs were to actually be followed in the real world, Pakistan, in fact all Islamic countries, would end up being enemies with the whole of the non-Islamic world, and perennially engaged in a direct war.  Pakistan does not mind buying and using technology developed by Kafirs, it has no qualms about coddling the supposed ‘enemies of Islam’ when it suits them, but has the audacity to declare others as “not Muslim enough” for building mutually beneficial and respectful relations. From claiming to be children of Indus Valley Civilisation, invoking Quran to reject friendship with Kafirs: Hypocrisy is Pakistan’s only identity For decades, Pakistani school curricula, political discourse, media, and even the entertainment industry celebrated Islamic conquests, falsely convincing the Pakistani Muslim populace that they are descendants of ‘warrior races’ like Turks, Arabs, everyone but Hindus, although they were just one DNA test away from discovering the ‘unsettling’ truth. They continue to present Muhammad Bin Qasim’s 8th-century invasion of Sindh as a watershed and celebratory moment for Pakistani Muslims. Pakistani state and populace alike glorify Jihadi invaders like Muhammad Ghori ‘Butshikan’, who attacked the Somnath Temple, due to their sheer hatred for Hindus. Interestingly, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s invocation of the Quran to criticise the India-Afghan Taliban relations comes at a time when Pakistan is aggressively running a rebranding campaign to establish its image as a ‘civilisational state’. Pakistan is a 79-year-old artificial construct based on the Two-Nation Theory’s Islamic exclusivity and hatred for Hindus, and has no real civilisational roots. In the absence of any civilisational roots, Pakistan was left with no choice but to appropriate and lay claim over the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation or Sindhu Saraswati Sabhyata that belonged to Kafirs. The same Pakistan that destroyed Hindu temples and heritage sites, and killed, raped, and discriminated against Hindu minorities, began calling ancient Hindu figures like Chanakya, Pāṇini’, King Purushottam (or Porus) as ‘ancient Pakistanis’. OpIndia has consistently highlighted that Pakistan’s sudden embrace of the pre-Islamic history of the Indian subcontinent is pretentious, agenda-driven, a tactic of retrofitting facts to appropriate the history of ancient India. Pakistan’s newfound love for Indus Valley Civilisation, pre-Islamic past, and concoction of the farce called ‘ancient Pakistan’, is all tied to the Indus Waters Treaty, and an image makeover from a Terroristan to a ‘civilisational state’. Beyond the image makeover manoeuvres, it is the statements by Pakistani military leadership, be it the ‘We are different from Hindus’ remarks by Pakistani top military leader Asim Munir in April 2025, or DG ISPR Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry’s recent ‘kafir friendship’ remarks, that reflect the true ideological stance of the Islamic Republic. While a civilisational state like India has its roots in Hindu consciousness and Vedic wisdom, a failed and identity-less country like Pakistan still continues to invoke bigotry and delusions of religious superiority to virtue-signal to others. Driven by sheer hatred for Hindus, Pakistan Army official Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry vilified Hindus, suggesting that Afghanistan’s Taliban leader talking about sharing DNA with Hindus of India is somehow Islamically bad, even though it is a factual reality. However, the convenient demonstration of bigotry and jihadi fanaticism by Chaudhry is not surprising given he is the son of UN-designated Islamic terrorist Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, an aide of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks in the US.
