Afghani Qourma and Kababs : Is it only the food that attracts Pakistan ?

What is that attracts Pakistan to Afghanistan , is a important question for strategic think tanks all over the years. Pakistan has used Afghan land for the purpose of Military training, for  preparation of Jihadi groups and that interconnected because, they were using a foreign land for all their destructive activities which gave them a kind of cushion for their foreign strategies and denial statements issued till date.

Islamabad from the day one, had tried hard that Kabul supported Pashtun and Baloch nationalism should not join together against them. In 1973, starting from Burhanuddin Rabbani, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Ahmed Shah Massoud had received training in training camps in Pakistan, so that they support all Pakistani foreign policies to their regard. Even though Kabul never accepted the Durand Line, Pakistan tried its best to make Afghanistan bend to its Knees and use it as a weapon whenever required to attack its enemies.

Till the time when US interfered in Afghanistan (The prime reason was said to be Osama) , Pakistan’s interest in the region got neglected and they felt isolated in International arena. US too spend a lot to make sure that Internal security of Afghanistan got strengthened and now they can leave Afghanistan by 2014.  The Question now the right time for US to leave Afghanistan when Pakistan still has interest in the region and India and US both cannot go back with their fight against terrorism.

 The question is important as well as the Americans claim that efficiency and efficacy of ANSF( Afghanistan National Security Forces) comprising the Afghan National Army ( ANA) and Afghan National Police( ANP) comprising around 352000  by October 2012, which is fairly a good number. The Chicago Summit too decided to spend around 4.1 billion Dollars on Afghanistan which is a good amount. With all these preparations going around, US and NATO forces when leave Afghanistan there would be a tussle between the Afghanistan administration(Hamid Karzai) and the hiding militant forces to capture Control again. That may be the dangerous time when Pakistan will regain interest in Afghani Quorma and kababs. For India, we need to remain vigilant. We have been stabbed twice with Mumbai Blasts and 26/11.
