Atari (Punjab), May 5 (ANI): India-bound passengers on board the India-Pakistan Samjhauta Express train commented on the dominance of Taliban in Pakistan.Passengers said that the fear of Taliban is on the minds of the people in Pakistan.
"Fear of Taliban is lot in the minds of people in Pakistan. Both Pathans and Taliban were busy fighting. The government is not taking enough steps to prevent this and has been sitting quiet," said Islamuddin, an Indian citizen who was returning from Pakistan.
Many passengers felt that both Islamabad and New Delhi should take steps to resolve disputes and jointly work to bring peace to the region."The governments of both the countries should jointly resolve the issue of Taliban," said Ayesha Tabassum, an Indian, who returned after visiting her kin.
Pakistani forces battled Taliban fighters on Monday as the militants denounced the army and the government as U.S. stooges and said the peace pact would end unless the government halted its offensive.The February pact and spreading Taliban influence have raised alarm in the United States about the ability of Pakistan -- which has a vital role in efforts to stabilise Afghanistan -- to stand up to the militants.
