Pakistan has rejected reports that it aided the Taliban's takeover in the Panjshir province. In a statement, Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar described the claims as a "mischievous propaganda campaign." On Monday, the Taliban claimed that it had taken over Panjshir Valley, the last holdout since the extremist group's hostile takeover of Afghanistan last month.
