Sharif had said – If such an act happens in the future, a befitting reply will be given to it.

what is the cause of stress?
The real reason for Thursday's firing has not been revealed, but it is being said in media reports that the Afghan Taliban has been firing on the border for several days. Pakistani soldiers were trying to build some border posts in this area. The Afghan Taliban stopped them and tensions escalated thereafter.
The Pakistani army or the Afghan Taliban have not yet said anything officially about Thursday's incident.
Shahbaz called the meeting
On Monday, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif called a meeting of the Security Committee. After this said – Whatever happened at the Chaman border is wrong. There was unnecessary firing on our army and civilians. The Taliban government present in Kabul will have to decide that this type of incident does not happen again.
Afghan Taliban preparing for an attack
According to media reports, there is a lot of tension on the Chaman border. This is the territory of Spin Boldak. This border area was also closed for a long time. Now the Afghan Taliban have started preparations for a counter-attack in this area. He has sent the Taliban equipped with armored vehicles, cannons, and other heavy weapons for deployment here.
Bad relationship within a year
The Durand Line separates Pakistan and Afghanistan. Afghanistan does not accept this border and claims many areas of Pakistan as its own. Pakistan fenced here with barbed wire, then the Taliban uprooted it by running bulldozers. 7 Pakistani soldiers have been killed on this border in two weeks. Trade between the two countries takes place through this border area.
A Taliban officer from Kandahar said – We wanted to build a new checkpoint here. Pakistan tried to stop it. Due to this tension increased. One of our soldiers was martyred and 10 civilians were injured. After this retaliatory action was taken.
On 15 August 2021, the Taliban captured power in Afghanistan. After this happiness was celebrated in Pakistan. The then Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan even termed the Taliban's victory as 'breaking the chains of slavery'. But, even before one year, the enmity between the two countries is at its peak.
Last month there was continuous firing for 8 days.
According to the news agency, there was continuous firing for 8 days in this border area in November. Because of this, there was a lot of damage on both sides. Then Pakistan tried to solve the matter diplomatically. Pakistan alleges that the Afghan Taliban are sending terrorists to Pakistan's border and these terrorists carry out attacks in Pakistan.
Diplomacy also failed
There has been tremendous tension on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan for almost 6 months. Recently, 6 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Taliban firing. To reduce this tension, Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar went to Afghanistan two weeks ago. He was accompanied by a delegation of officers from the Foreign and Defense Ministries.
The special thing is that when the officials of the Taliban government, who advocated keeping women imprisoned in boundary walls and hijab, arrived at Kabul airport to receive Hina, she was in her old glamorous style. Far from wearing hijab, she had not even put a scarf on her head.
