You really are freaking something. You Indian's get consumed so much by your fake news that you can't see facts if they exploded in your face. Okay let's consider step by step what you are saying and the operative word here is 'meddling' that you charged Pakistan with.
Meddling /ˈmɛd(ə)lɪŋ/
"to involve oneself in a matter without right or invitation"
So being invaded by USA, a country on other side of the planet, then come under foreign occupation involving over dozen Western armies, US, Canadian, British, German, French, Australian, Danish, Italian, Latvian to name a few. Then the invaders instal a government in Kabul which is propped up by over 130,000 Western soldiers. This is not meddling. A boot up the Afghan posterior pushed so hard it almost came out of the mouth is NOT meddling.
But Pakistan being open to Taliban is. You are aware if anybody has right to 'meddle' it is Pakistan. There are deep ethnic relations, there are more Afghan refugees in Pakistan then any other country on earth. Afghanistan and Pakistan are inexorably tied by history, geography, ethnicity and religion.
But it's meddling for Pakistan, never mind that superpower sized boot up the Afghan spout for 20 freakin years. Jeeeeez ..... !
The logic of you people.
Chess May be Banned in Afghanistan
As Afghanistan falls to the Taliban, lives of many people will change dramatically, and that unfortunately includes those who play chess, because apparently the Taliban do not approve of chess
Those who love chess now have every reason to worry. According to the 2002 report from Counterpunch, the Taliban declared a war on the game:
“When the Taliban caught Haji Shirullah, a Kabul businessman, playing chess in his office with his brother they burnt the chessboard and the pieces. ‘They put us in jail for two days,’ he recalled with a rueful smile. ‘The Taliban believed chess was a form of gambling and distracted people from saying their prayers.’
One Taliban list of prohibitions included pork, pig, pig oil, anything made from human hair, satellite dishes, cinematography, and equipment that produces the joy of music, pool tables, chess, masks, alcohol, tapes, computers, VCRs, television, anything that propagates sex and is full of music, wine, lobster, nail polish, firecrackers, statues, sewing catalogs, pictures, Christmas cards.
Chess is not in the list of priorities in a country where many fear for their families safety (nor it should be), but chess is also a metaphor for basic freedoms, and it is clearly in jeopardy.

Underestimating is the worst thing anybody can do.
Never underestimate your enemies know matter how much above you feel because one day they can easily sting you.
Calm down.
Lest we forget, the Americans and their NATO allies were using Pakistani bases to bomb the daylights out of Afghanistan and you were a willing participant. Even your soldiers were involved. So when the "invaders" installed a puppet regime, you were as involved in installing that puppet regime as anyone one. I guess ties of ties of history, geography, ethnicity and religion came to naught when a few cents were thrown your way.
Also the Americans did want Osama. And he was in Pakistan. And according to your Taliban and terror loving PM is a "martyr".
But you were taking a few coins to hunt him down.
Now continue blaming India for all this. I expect nothing less.
Don't worry. It's not as if any Grandmaster is going to come out of the Af Pak region.World Chess, the official FIDE gaming platform, has 64 subscribers from Afghanistan, and we reached out to some of them to find out how they are coping with the major changes taking place in their country. The answers were disheartening: “…the country is in a dire condition and we do not know if chess will be allowed under the new government. I heartily appreciate you reaching out.”Chess May be Banned in Afghanistan
