Pakistan rejects Zalmay Khalilzad’s claims of arming Afghans against Taliban
Most outlets reported that Pakistan’s government or information ministry categorically denied Zalmay Khalilzad’s allegations, often describing the claims as "baseless" or "misleading." Several emphasized that the accusations involved Pakistan allegedly arming or recruiting Afghans to fight the Taliban or hostile militant groups. A few, like Geo News, added that the allegations were said to "recycle speculative narratives," while others, like Minute Mirror, provided a truncated headline without specifying the nature of the denial. The framing was largely consistent, with no major variation in the core message of rejection.
