Delhi: Non-Resident Afghans oppose Pakistan’s intermediacy over Taliban issue

New Delhi, Sep 14: Afghan nationals living in India have opposed Pakistan’s intermediary over Afghanistan’s national issue.  Afghan residents in the Chanakyapuri area of South Delhi, on Tuesday afternoon, staged a massive protest against Pakistan demanding that it stop meddling in Afghanistan's affairs. Earlier, on September 10, Afghan citizens had staged the first protest against Pakistan. The protesters alleged Taliban is nothing without the tacit support of Pakistan which has helped in breeding them. Taliban does not represent the Afghan people but is controlled by Pakistan. If a Taliban terrorist dies, Pakistan's identity proof is recovered from his pocket. Mustafa Ansari, an Afghan national living in Delhi for the last five years, told media personnel, "We are staging protests against Pakistan because it is interfering in our country's national affairs and lending its support to the Taliban." "We haven't received any help till now, the world knows that Pakistan conducted airstrikes in the Panjshir province of Afghanistan and it does not have the jurisdiction to interfere in a foreign country's national issues." He again said the situation in Afghanistan is not good. After speaking to our family members in Afghanistan, we came to know that they are not able to go outside their homes. We have already experienced the horror under the control of the Taliban. Innocent civilians are being killed as well as continuous attacks are being carried out in the Panjshir valley. However, Afghan nationals living in India are annoyed over the new Taliban government controlling Afghanistan and have raised continuous protests in India since August.
