‘Fabricated, devoid of facts’: Info ministry rubbishes claims of barbed wire being removed along Pak-Afghan border

The information ministry on Wednesday dismissed claims regarding the removal of the barbed wire along the Pak-Afghan border as “fabricated and devoid of facts”.

In a post on X, the ministry’s fact-checking account denounced these “fake claims by the Afghan Taliban regime and Indian RAW’s (Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing) mouthpieces”.

It said that the Pak-Afghan border, also called the Durand Line, was 2,640 kilometres long and guarded by Pakistan.

“The Taliban regime works hand in glove with terrorists, smugglers and criminal mafia to infiltrate [it],” it said, adding that the complex dynamics of the border had already been explained multiple times by relevant security officials.

The ministry’s post also referred to a November 2025 press conference by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, during which he spoke about terrorist infiltration through the Pak-Afghan border and challenges being faced in this regard. He had also said that Afghan forces open fire at Pakistani checkposts across the border to facilitate the infiltration of terrorists into the country.

In its post, the ministry also shared a screenshot of another post by an X account named Afghanistan Defence, in which Afghan forces were quoted as stating that “operations to completely remove the barbed wire along the Durand Line are ongoing and progressing rapidly”.
