افغانستان کی پاکستان میں مداخلت کی تاریخ
Phases of Afghanistan’s intervention in Pakistan
Early post-Partition era (late 1940s-1950s)
A.Afghanistan was the only country to vote against Pakistan’s entry into the United Nations after 1947 — partly because of the border and Pashtunistan issues.
B.In 1955 there were riots in Afghanistan directed at Pakistan’s embassy/consulates, triggered by Kabul’s objection to Pakistan’s “One Unit” administrative scheme (which merged various provinces, including those with Pashtun majorities).
C.These dynamics show early intervention via diplomatic/propaganda means rather than large-scale military invasion.
1960s: Border skirmishes and armed conflict
A.The so-called Bajaur Campaign (1960-61) was an armed confrontation: Afghan forces and Pashtun nationalist proxies invaded/entered the Bajaur region (in what is now Pakistan) near the border. Afghanistan backing tribal opposition.
B.These show more direct intervention: Afghan military/tribal proxies crossing into Pakistani territory for the Pashtunistan cause.
Watch my dream GHAZAL
1970s: Toward rapprochement, but also ideological interference
A.In mid-1970s, there were attempts at improving relations: for example, in 1976-77 summits between Pakistan and Afghanistan to address the Durand Line, Pashtunistan issues.
B.At the same time, during the communist regime in Kabul (post 1978) and the Soviet invasion (1979), Afghanistan’s internal chaos spilled across the border; Pakistan became deeply involved in Afghan affairs. But this point is more about Pakistan’s intervention into Afghanistan than vice-versa.
Post-2001 era & recent years
A.The 1980s and after were dominated by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistani involvement; however, for our theme (Afghanistan’s intervention into Pakistan) the key angle is how militant groups and cross-border sanctuaries from Afghan territory have affected Pakistan.
B.More recently (2020s) tensions remain: cross-border shelling, accusations of militants being hosted across the border, border closings. For example, in 2025 Pakistan closed major crossings after clashes with Afghan forces.
C.While not always “Afghanistan intervening in Pakistan” in the classical sense of invasion, the geographic and tribal dynamics mean Afghanistan’s terrain, policies or lack of control over border militants represent a kind of intervention in Pakistan’s internal security environment.
مداخلت کے ادوار
1. قیامِ پاکستان کے بعد (1947–1950s) افغانستان واحد ملک تھا جس نے پاکستان کے اقوامِ متحدہ میں داخلے کے خلاف ووٹ دیا۔ ء1955 میں افغانستان میں پاکستان کے سفارتخانے اور قونصل خانوں پر حملے کیے گئے۔ یہ احتجاج “ون یونٹ” اسکیم اور ڈیورنڈ لائن کے خلاف تھا۔ 👉 اس دور میں افغانستان کی مداخلت زیادہ تر سیاسی اور سفارتی نوعیت کی تھی۔
2. 1960 کی دہائی — باجوڑ مہم ء 1960-61میں افغانستان نے باجوڑ کے علاقے میں قبائلی قوم پرستوں کی مدد سے حملہ کیا۔ پاکستان نے جوابی کارروائی میں افغان علاقوں پر فضائی حملے کیے۔ 👉 یہ افغانستان کی براہِ راست فوجی مداخلت تھی۔
3. 1970 کی دہائی — سیاسی اتار چڑھاؤ اور نظریاتی اثرات ء 1976- 77میں دونوں ممالک نے تعلقات بہتر بنانے کی کوشش کی۔ مگر 1978ء میں افغانستان میں کمیونسٹ انقلاب آیا، اور 1979ء میں روسی فوجیں داخل ہو گئیں، جس کے بعد خطے میں نئی سرد جنگ شروع ہوئی۔ 👉 اس دور میں افغانستان کا اندرونی بحران پاکستان تک پھیل گیا۔
4. ء2001 کے بعد کا دور (نائن الیون کے بعد) طالبان حکومت کے خاتمے کے بعد افغانستان کے اندر بدامنی اور پاکستان میں دہشت گرد تنظیموں کی موجودگی کے الزامات عام ہوئے۔ پاکستان نے بارہا کہا کہ افغان سرزمین سے ٹی ٹی پی کے حملے ہوتے ہیں۔ ء 2025 میں بھی دونوں ملکوں کے درمیان سرحدی جھڑپوں کے بعد پاکستان نے اہم بارڈر کراسنگ بند کر دی۔
Key issues underpinning intervention
The Durand Line
The border drawn in 1893 between British India and Afghanistan, inherited by Pakistan in 1947. Afghanistan long refused to recognise it as legitimate, especially regarding Pashtun tribal areas.Pashtunistan / ethnic-Pashtun nationalism
Afghanistan’s support (sometimes overt, sometime covert) for Pashtun nationalist movements inside Pakistan, especially in the tribal belt / NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and FATA region.Proxy / border conflict & refugee flows
Because of the long and porous border, Afghan territory (or refugee flows) and militant or tribal groups have sometimes been used in Pakistan’s security concerns. Also, Afghanistan fears Pakistani influence in its internal affairs.Cold War/Regional geopolitics
During the Soviet era and post-9/11 era, many regional powers exploited Afghanistan and Pakistan’s border/trouble zones for their strategic aims.
Selected notable incidents
1955 riots in Kabul & Afghan consulates: On 31 October 1955, Afghan crowds attacked Pakistan’s embassy and consulates in Afghanistan, in protest of the One Unit scheme and Afghanistan’s non-recognition of the Durand Line. Bajaur Campaign (1960-61): Afghan army with Pashtun nationalist militants entered Bajaur (in Pakistan’s tribal region) who were opposed to Pakistan’s political control, leading to Pakistani counter-attack via airstrikes into Afghan territory. Current border tensions (2025): Pakistan accusing Afghan side of harbouring militants (e.g., Tehrik‑e‑Taliban Pakistan or TTP) and Afghanistan’s forces retaliating after Pakistani airstrikes. Border crossings closed.
ء 1955 کے کابل فسادات: افغان ہجوم نے پاکستان کے سفارتخانے پر حملہ کیا۔
باجوڑ مہم 1960-61: افغان فوج اور پشتون قوم پرست پاکستان کے علاقے میں داخل ہوئے۔
2025 ء کی سرحدی جھڑپیں: افغان فورسز اور پاکستانی فوج کے درمیان فائرنگ اور سرحدوں کی بندش۔
Why this matters for Pakistan
Watch my poem INSAF BIK RAHA HAI
.Pakistan’s western border region remains a major security, ethnic and diplomatic challenge. .Afghanistan’s actions (or inaction) affect Pakistan’s tribal/border provinces, the refugee situation, militant infiltration and internal stability. .The unresolved issue of the Durand Line and the Pashtun nationalism dimension means Afghanistan’s “intervention” is partly ideological and partly military/security-related. .For Pakistan, any Afghan terrain used by militants is a national security concern: the lack of firm border control, tribal affiliations across borders, and historical claims complicate things.
🔹 پاکستان کے لیے اس کی اہمیت
افغانستان کے اقدامات پاکستان کی داخلی سلامتی، قبائلی علاقوں، اور سرحدی امن پر براہِ راست اثر ڈالتے ہیں۔
ڈیورنڈ لائن اور پشتون قوم پرستی کے مسائل آج بھی تعلقات میں تناؤ پیدا کرتے ہیں۔
افغانستان کی سرزمین سے عسکریت پسندوں کی موجودگی پاکستان کے لیے سب سے بڑا سیکیورٹی چیلنج ہے۔
Summary
In short: yes — Afghanistan has intervened (or has been involved) in Pakistan’s affairs through supporting Pashtun nationalist movements, border incursions, diplomatic protests, and indirectly through militants and sanctuary issues. The form of this intervention has varied across time: from propaganda and diplomatic pressure (1950s), to armed proxy/tribal incursions (1960s), to being part of the border-militant complex in recent decades.

🔹 خلاصہ
افغانستان نے مختلف ادوار میں پاکستان کے اندر سیاسی، نظریاتی، اور عسکری طور پر مداخلت کی۔ کبھی پشتونستان کے نعرے کے ذریعے، کبھی سرحدی جھڑپوں میں، اور آج کے دور میں دہشت گردی اور سرحد پار حملوں کی صورت میں۔ یہ مداخلتیں کبھی کھلی، کبھی خاموش رہیں — مگر دونوں ممالک کے تعلقات پر ان کا گہرا اثر رہا ہے۔
The opinions and comments of friends will be respected.
