TALIBAN 2 LAST

The Taliban spokesman noted that India and Afghanistan
have had historic ties and said "The Taliban aren’t in any
direct conflict with India. India troops aren’t part of NATO
forces, they haven’t occupied Afghanistan."

He claimed that Taliban "favour neither India not
Pakistan" but hastened to add that it cannot "ignore Pakistan
as it is a neighbouring Islamic country" and was on good terms
with them when they were in power.
"India, on the other hand, backed anti-Taliban forces
of the Northern Alliance (NA) and refused to do business with
our government... Our complaint is India backed the NA
(Northern Alliance), and is now supporting the Karzai
government," Mujahid said.
He was also critical when asked about Indian projects
and whether those were beneficial for Afghan people.
Claiming that India was doing all this to promote its
interest in Afghanistan, he said, "If India were so fond of
the Afghan people, why did it not undertake development
projects under Taliban rule?" PTI PYK
