Despite having almost the same culture and same social norms, the relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are strained. The most alarming factor for Pakistan is the increasing influence of RAW and its nexus with National Directorate of Security in Afghanistan. RAW’s funding to terrorists is not acceptable to Pakistan. Afghanistan should not allow RAW to use its soil against Pakistan. Afghanistan should mend its ways and solve all the related issues with Pakistan diplomatically.
