After the echo of bullets and explosions of bombs, there is silence on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan for the next 48 hours. After the bloody conflict between the two countries, a temporary ceasefire has been agreed upon, which has come into effect from 6:30 pm (Indian time) on Wednesday.
But there is a big question hidden behind this silence-After all, who bowed down?
Pakistan claims: Taliban asked for peace ‘by begging’!
Pakistan is presenting this ceasefire as its big victory. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry has announced that the ceasefire has been done “at the request of the Taliban”. Pakistan says that the Afghan Taliban itself requested to stop the fighting, after which both the sides agreed to talks.

On the other hand, the Taliban government of Afghanistan has maintained deep silence on this entire matter. He has neither confirmed the ceasefire nor commented on whose side the demand for peace was made.
Why was this ceasefire necessary?
This peace has come after a bloody game in which both sides made tall claims of killing many of each other’s soldiers.
- Pakistan claims it has carried out “precision strikes” in Afghanistan’s Kabul and Kandahar provinces.
- The Pakistani Army also said that it had foiled several Taliban attacks. more than 40 attackers Killed, including 15-20 Taliban terrorists in a clash.
Following this tense atmosphere, both sides will not fire at each other for the next 48 hours and will try to find a solution to this “complex but solvable” issue through talks.
Now it remains to be seen whether this 48-hour peace brings both the countries to the negotiating table, or is it just the lull before a bigger storm.
