Afghan diplomats spark controversy by disrespecting Pakistan's national anthem

[PakFactor]

How can we expect others to respect us when we do not respect our laws? While making a mockery of this country. To all those crying here, take Tarrar's flying finger, put some ghee on it, and shove it in your behinds.

TTP emerging as ‘umbrella body’ for terrorist groups worldwide, Pakistan tells UN​

Pakistan's envoy to the UN says the Afghan regime must not be allowed to manipulate regional and international dynamics to avoid its obligations.

The banned TTP, a separate group but aligned with the Afghan Taliban, had escalated attacks on Pakistani security forces since breaking a fragile ceasefire agreement with the then-government in November 2022.

According to a statement posted on the X platform by the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN, Akram, while delivering a statement in the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan today, pointed out the terrorism threat the TTP was posing globally.

“Ambassador Munir Akram termed the TTP, known as Fitna al Khawarij in Pakistan, as the largest terrorist organisation in Afghanistan that is conducting almost daily terrorist attacks against Pakistan with full support and protection of the Afghan Interim Government (AIG) and sponsorship of Pakistan’s major adversary,” the statement quoted Akram as saying.

Islamabad has repeatedly conveyed its concerns to the Afghan government over the presence of terror outfits, including TTP, inside Afghanistan, saying that the militants have consistently used Afghan soil to launch terror attacks inside Pakistani territory. Kabul denies the allegations.

It is all about the intent. The Afghan intent is not good. It is meant to disrespect and not recognise Pakistan as a state.

We have much problematic relations with Afghanistan compared to even India. Afghanistan is an outright enemy.

They just did the same with Iran. Then apologised.

Iran summons Afghan envoy for ‘disrespecting’ anthem, days after similar incident in Pakistan​

September 20, 2024

Iran summoned the acting head of Afghanistan’s embassy on Friday after saying a visiting Afghan official disrespected the country’s national anthem by not standing, days after a similar incident in Pakistan.

Standing up during the national anthem is a widely practiced gesture of respect and patriotism in many countries. It is often seen as a way to honour the nation and its values.

Pakistan condemned the “reprehensible disrespect” for the country’s national anthem by an Afghan diplomat, who decided to remain seated when the anthem was played at a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government event on Tuesday, sparking an uproar on social and mainstream media.

However, the Afghan consulate downplayed the incident, attributing the envoy’s decision to remain seated to the presence of “music in the anthem”.

Following the incident at a conference in Tehran on Islamic unity, the Afghan delegate apologised, but said he didn’t stand up because music in public was banned by the Taliban.

An Iranian foreign ministry statement said a “strong protest” had been lodged after the Afghan official’s “unconventional and unacceptable action”.

It accused Kabul’s representative to the Islamic Unity Conference of “disrespecting the national anthem of the Islamic Republic”.

The foreign ministry “condemned this action, which went against diplomatic custom”.

Afghanistan’s representative remained seated when Iran’s national anthem was played.

“Apart from the obvious necessity of the guest respecting the symbols of the host country, paying respect to the national anthem of countries is internationally recognised behaviour,” Iran’s statement added.

On Friday the Afghan official in Tehran for the conference posted a video apology, saying he meant no disrespect but that sitting during anthems is their custom.

Iran shares a 900 kilometre border with Afghanistan, but has not officially recognised Taliban’s government since it came to power in August 2021 after US forces withdrew.
