    India shipped 500000 jabs of Covid vaccine to afghan. Pakistan Fumes. But why?Afghan and India have no civil Aircraft movement as pakistan has closed airspace for Indian civilian Aircraft. India can't send Military aircraft as it will not be allowed So pakistan blocked all possible help from India to Afghan.India outsmart Pakistan by a trick India loaded 500000 jabs for Afghan in a IRAN civil aircraft as passenger load and From India it went to Afghan via Iran .Today Pakistan is angry because Iran offers to transfer Indian wheat to Afghanistan; Pakistan fumes and pulling their hairs and on other hand Taliban is making Pakistan army run for its money . Taliban is overpowering Pakistan Army on their border and even China doesnot want to upset Afghanistan and is avoiding pakistan which is turning bankrupt .

But same time our Godi media and Andhbhakrs should realise the situations not just barking
