We will raise our voice for the Muslims of Kashmir: the Taliban

(PTI) Peshawar / Doha, Ta. 3

Ever since the Taliban took control of Kabul on August 15, there have been indications from Afghanistan that the central government's fears that Afghan soil could be used for terrorist activities against India are now coming true. A day before the formation of the government in Afghanistan, a spokesman for the Taliban's political office in Doha, the capital of Qatar, poisoned Kashmir and said they would continue to speak out for the Muslims of Kashmir. Meanwhile, security agencies say that terrorist activities in Kashmir have been on the rise for the past one month with the advent of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The Taliban, on the other hand, has raised India's concerns by calling China its most important ally.

The Taliban in Afghanistan was to announce a new government on Friday. But the Taliban has postponed the announcement of a new government by one day, said Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid. A day before the formation of the government in Afghanistan, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shahi from the Taliban's political office in Doha, the capital of Qatar, told the BBC via video link that it was their right to speak out for Muslims anywhere in the world, including Kashmir. However, this does not mean that they will launch an 'armed campaign' against any country.

Under the Doha Agreement with the United States, we will not allow terrorists to use Afghan soil against any country. "As Muslims, it is our right to speak up for Muslims in any country in the world, including Kashmir," Shaheen said. We will continue to raise our voices saying that these Muslims are your own people, your own citizens and you should give them equal rights under your law. Shaheen's remarks came after the Indian Foreign Ministry said that Deepak Mittal, India's ambassador to Qatar, had met with Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, the head of the Taliban's political office in Doha, at the request of the Taliban.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, on the other hand, described China as his biggest ally, responding to questions about the Taliban government's strategy with the world and its relations with other countries before the formation of a new government in Afghanistan. The Taliban are likely to hand over the responsibility of resettling Afghanistan, which is on the brink of economic recovery, to China. This is even more worrying for India. Mujahid said that China will re-establish this country by investing in our country.

Afghanistan has a large number of copper mines. If China reactivates and modernizes this mine, it will be beneficial for Afghanistan. Thus, the involvement of the Taliban and China may increase in the coming days, which will further aggravate India's problem. The Taliban, hoping for financial help from China, has started supporting every project that India opposes. The Taliban has backed China's One Belt One Road project, saying it is good for Afghanistan's economy. China, on the other hand, is in a hurry to recognize the Taliban government.

Mujahid, meanwhile, said the formation of a new government by the Taliban was due to be announced on Friday, but it has now been postponed for a day. The new government will now be announced on Saturday. According to sources, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the political head of the Taliban, could be the head of the Taliban government. Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban's religious leader, will be Afghanistan's supreme authority.
