  "account": "The Ministry of Information in Pakistan dismissed recent allegations by the Afghan Taliban regime, which claimed Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies were involved in violence in Nuristan province. The ministry labeled these claims as \"frivolous, baseless and devoid of any truth.\" Claims that Pakistan had recruited or trained former Afghan security personnel or facilitated terrorist groups like Daesh in the region were likewise rejected. The ministry stated that there was no evidence to support these allegations, including footage circulating on social media that allegedly showed Pakistani military personnel in Nuristan. The ministry described the video as a \"pre-planned video shoot\" by the Afghan Taliban regime, known for making false claims. The ministry also dismissed accusations of providing weapons to Afghan terrorist groups, stating that the presence and activities of these groups were well-documented. Pakistan has consistently maintained that the issue of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is rooted in the actions of terrorist organizations operating from within Afghan territory, not Pakistan.",
