Mubin, a Taliban member arrested on orders of Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund for anti-Pakistan statements, criticized spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid's claim that Pakistan's recent invasion of Afghanistan stemmed from a 'specific circle' within the Pakistani army, posting 'Specific circle!?' on X during the reporting window from 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM UTC on February 22, 2026, according to Zawia News. Mubin stated the Pakistani embassy in Kabul remains open with its ambassador providing coordinates for attacks, urging the Taliban administration to publicly hang 'internal dragons' (traitors), remove them from duties, and execute sympathizers as national treason, as reported by Zawia News. He noted closed trade routes and ongoing Pakistani civilian attacks despite intact diplomatic relations and open embassies. In separate domestic news, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commented on a Youth Congress protest at the AI Summit in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, stating '...I ask the Congress membersāthe country knows that you are already naked, so what was the need to take off your clothes?', according to IANS India on X during the window. These statements occurred amid prior reports of Indian security operations, including the neutralization of two Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, confirmed earlier that morning by PTI and @Whiteknight_IA.
