In the midst of India’s concern that the Afghan territory can be used for anti-India activities under the Taliban regime, the terror group said that it has the right to lift their votes for Muslims everywhere, including in Kashmir. However, he added that the group did not have a policy to lift arms against any country.
In an interview with BBC Urdu, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said: “We have this right, becoming Muslim, to elevate our votes for Muslims in Kashmir, India, and any other country.”
We will lift our votes and say that Muslims are your own people, your own citizens. They are entitled to the same rights based on your law,” he added, according to Geo News.
Shaheen’s statement was different from the previous group’s statement about Kashmir. A few days after controlling Kabul, the Taliban said Kashmir was “bilateral and internal problems”.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Arindam Bagchi on Thursday said India’s aim was to ensure that the land of Afghanistan was not used for terror activities in any form.
In the first formal contact and was recognized publicly, the Indian Ambassador to Qatar Deepak Mittal met with senior Taliban leader Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai on Tuesday and expressed India’s concern that Afghan Land should not be used for anti-India and terrorism activities.
MEA said the discussion also focused on safety, security and initial return of Indian citizens who were stranded in Afghanistan and the journey of Afghan citizens, especially members of the minority community to India.
India is concerned that Afghanistan can be the center of Islamic terrorism, the first type that has a country. In the past, ISIS and Al Qaeda also tried to build a country but failed. There is a concern that Sunni and Wahabi terrorist groups will turn the Taliban into their paradise.
In the midst of greater concerns over the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, India is expected to increase security vigil in the region.
There will be an increase in security vigil in Kashmir but things that hold control and Pakistani -based groups in Afghanistan have little capacity to use this situation,” the government sources told Ani last month.
Sources -Government sources also say that Pakistani Eye Agents, who have good relations with the leadership of the Taliban, will try to influence the Taliban but will not be able to have an effect because the Taliban this time is in the position of strength and only the weak Taliban can be done by the Taliban weak is influenced by content.
