India's refusal to support the Taliban government in Afghanistan

New Delhi / Kabul, Dt

For almost a month after the Taliban seized Kabul at lightning speed in Afghanistan, India had adopted a "wait and see" policy. However, at the end of Saturday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had categorically refused to support the Taliban government in Afghanistan, saying he considered the current interim government in Afghanistan to be nothing more than a system. On the other hand, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres stressed that the Taliban's victory in Afghanistan would encourage terrorist groups in other parts of the world as well. He also discussed the issue of global terrorism.

External Affairs Minister S. "India does not consider the new Taliban government to be more than a system and does not include all sections, which is a matter of concern," Jaishankar said on Saturday. India also expressed concern over the situation of women and minorities in Afghanistan.

He said the land of Afghanistan should not be used for terrorism in other countries in the world. It is the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. The attack is a reminder that we will not make any compromises in the fight against terrorism. Even with the center of global terrorism close to us, we cannot support the Taliban.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also warned that the Taliban's victory in Afghanistan would encourage other terrorist groups in other parts of the world. He also expressed concern about the spread of global terrorism. However, he called for talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan as the UN is determined to play an "inclusive role" in international relations.

Meanwhile, on the issue of the swearing-in ceremony of the interim government of Afghanistan, the Taliban has given up the idea of ​​adding salt to America's wounds. Earlier, there were reports that the ministers of the new "terrorist" government would be sworn in on the 30th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Now, however, the Taliban has canceled the swearing-in ceremony under pressure from allies. The Taliban had invited neighboring countries like China, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Qatar and India, Russia as well as the US to attend the swearing-in ceremony before the formation of the new government. However, most countries have declared that they are in no hurry to recognize the Taliban government. Russia also refused to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

The Taliban, meanwhile, has begun to show its true face with the formation of a new government. The brutal Taliban shared a 30-second video of an Afghan soldier being beheaded in his private chat room. However, it is not clear where and when this video is from. But as soon as the Taliban came to power, the United Nations feared that it could retaliate against the old government officials and the Jawans. Another telling proof of this is the assassination of Rohullah Saleh, the brother of former Vice President of Afghanistan Amarullah Saleh. The Taliban killed his brother in retaliation against Amarullah. In addition, women in Afghanistan have been whipped since the beginning of the Taliban regime.
