Kashmir is India's internal, bilateral issue: the Taliban

Northern Times News Desk, 18th August: The Taliban held a press conference for the first time since occupying Afghanistan. In the first meeting, the extremist group clarified its position on Kashmir.  The group made it clear that it would not interfere in the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir.  "Kashmir is an internal, bilateral issue for India," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told a news conference in Kabul on Tuesday night.  The international community frowned at the Taliban's statement.  According to some experts, they have changed the volume.  Again, many people think that it is just Iwash.

The militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba has been carrying out terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir for a long time.  Militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi also have bases in several parts of Afghanistan.  As a result, it is virtually clear that these militants entered Kashmir under Afghan influence.  Experts believe that Lashkar-e-Taiba also has good relations with the Taliban.  In this situation, there were fears that the Taliban would help increase militant activity in Kashmir.  However, at a Taliban press conference on Tuesday, Delhi was reassured by a slight reversal of tone on Kashmir.  The Taliban are in tune with India, not with Pakistan, but with Kashmir.  But they do not want to hurt India?  Or do these new Afghans want to maintain good relations?  This is the thorn in the side of the political arena.

Afghanistan will not create problems for any country.  The Taliban claimed this at a press conference on Tuesday.  Jabihullah Mujahid said, 'We do not want any kind of animosity.  He also demanded that there should be no discrimination against women.  He added, 'We don't want anyone to leave the country.  Security arrangements have been made across the country.  No one can kidnap anyone.  The security of Kabul will be enhanced day by day.  Our country was a Muslim state 20 years ago, it still has a Muslim state today.  The rules and regulations to be implemented in Afghanistan will be understood after the formation of the government.  The Taliban are working hard to form a government.  Details in this regard will be provided after the completion of all the processes.  All border areas are under our control.
