ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Fugitive YouTuber Adil Raja, who grew up on YouTube’s illicit dollars, has become Afghanistan’s pet after India, and has been declared a great analyst by the Afghan media.
Afghanistan-based broadcaster TOLOnews shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Raja’s remarks in which he questioned the lack of publicly verifiable evidence regarding claims that “terrorist targets” were eliminated during Pakistan’s precision strikes.
The post on X stated that ”Adil Raja, a former member of the Pakistan Army and journalist, said in an analysis that nearly 72 hours after Pakistan’s airstrikes inside Afghan territory, no verifiable evidence has been presented to substantiate claims that ‘terrorist targets’ were eliminated.

Instead, reports from the United Nations, Amnesty International, and several international outlets indicate that around 20 civilians were martyred. In his analysis, Raja adds that Washington and Islamabad continue to assert that ISIS-K and the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) maintain bases inside Afghanistan, yet publicly available and documented evidence remains limited, as the post added.
In his analysis, Raja noted that several senior ISIS figures have been arrested or killed within Pakistan itself, and that previous Pakistani claims regarding TTP leader Noor Wali Mehsud later proved inconsistent with subsequent developments.
Raja stresses that counterterrorism efforts require transparency and verifiable evidence, warning that conflicting narratives without substantiation only deepen instability and mistrust in the region.
The remarks have sparked strong reactions on social media, with critics accusing Raja of undermining Pakistan’s security narrative, while others argue that calls for transparency are essential in matters of regional security.
