Further, the Taliban administration blamed ISI for fomenting trouble in Afghanistan, while suggesting that a 'particular group within Pakistan armed forces can't tolerate peace in Afghanistan'.

Voicing Taliban's strong stance on Pakistan-led activities, Mujahid said, "This group in Pak army turning blind eye to ISIS activities within its borders."

Issuing a warning to Pakistan, Mujahid said any breach of Afghan sovereignty would face immediate retaliation. Adding to this, he said "no attack will go unanswered."
