India has tightened a noose around Pakistan's neck and it is now being drawn in

Statement by Former Vice President of Afghanistan, Amrullah Saleh

Kabul (Afghanistan) – India’s retaliatory action against Pakistan was bold, unprecedented, and aligned with its promises. India has tied a long noose around Pakistan’s neck, and that noose has nine knots, each being tightened one by one. Currently, India has tightened the first knot through “Operation Sindoor,” said former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh in response to India’s recent actions against Pakistan.

In a post on ‘X’, Amrullah Saleh wrote that Pakistan is calling this a “cowardly attack.” However, India’s military action was anything but cowardly—it was a bold and decisive strike. Significantly, the female officer who briefed the nation on the operation belongs to the Quraysh tribe. The Quraysh is a Saudi Arabian tribe believed to be linked to the Prophet Muhammad.
