Taliban Tries To Persuade Former Opponents
Taliban tries to persuade former opponents, urges them to return to Afghanistan.
The rulers of the caretaker government of Afghanistan held a meeting with the leaders of the anti-Taliban faction in Iran.
In the first meeting of its kind in Tehran on Sunday, the Taliban tried to persuade former opponents.
Amir Khan Muttaki, the acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan, appointed by the Taliban, said in a video message on Monday, “During the meeting, the leaders of the opposition coalition were told that they could return to Afghanistan.”
They were also given a security guarantee. The opposing coalition is known as the National Resistance Front.
Its leader is Ahmed Masood, whose father Aham Shah Masood was assassinated in 2001. The coalition was united after the Taliban captured Kabul on 15 August.
Ismail Khan, the former governor of Herat province, supported Ahmed Masood.
After the withdrawal of American and its allies, anti-Taliban fighters made their base in the Panjshir Valley and for several weeks Taliban fighters were not allowed to enter the area.
Insurgent voices against the Taliban continue to rise in that area.
There is fierce opposition to the closeness of the fundamentalists and the Pakistani army in POK.
Many local people and activists of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have fiercely criticized the Government of Pakistan for neglecting the local administration.
At the same time, the closeness between the fundamentalists and the Pakistani army has also been fiercely opposed.
According to Just Earth News, Pakistan has appointed Irfan Ashraf as the Director-General of Kashmir Cultural Academy.
Irfan was seen openly collaborating with Taliban terrorists and threatening local people with weapons during elections in POK.
Imran government was accused of suppressing local administration.
The posters of Irfan Ashraf had pictures of Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, which was showing the closeness of the Pakistani army and the fundamentalists.
In another similar case, Mazhar Saeed, a former colleague of the banned terrorist organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Pakistan, was given the ticket to contest from Imran Khan’s party on a seat reserved for Ulema and Masikh.
The local people then sought help from the international community against the cases of human rights violations in Pakistan and China.
