Kabul: After the occupation of Afghanistan, the strength of the Taliban is increasing rapidly. Meanwhile, the Taliban have pardoned Afghanistan’s ousted President Ashraf Ghani and self-proclaimed President Amrullah Saleh. Senior Taliban leader Khalil ur Rehman Haqqani told Geo News that the Taliban forgive Ashraf Ghani, Amrullah Saleh, and Hamdullah Mohib. The enmity between the Taliban and the trio was only on the basis of religion. Ghani and Saleh can return to Afghanistan if they wish. Along with this, the Taliban has also issued an appeal for reconciliation with Muslim countries.
Ashraf Ghani is currently living in exile in Dubai after leaving Kabul on August 15, while Amrullah Saleh has made Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley his stronghold. Insurgents are targeting the Taliban from Panjshir Valley.
In an interview with Pakistan’s Geo News, Taliban leader Khalil ur Rehman Haqqani said, ‘We have forgiven Ashraf Ghani, Saleh and Mohib. His enmity with these three people was only on religious grounds. Haqqani said, ‘We have forgiven everyone from our side. Be it the people who fought against us or the common citizens. Appealed to the people not to leave the country.
Enemy’s propaganda
Haqqani said that the enemies are propagating that the Taliban will take revenge on them. He said, ‘Tajiks, Balochs, Hazaras, and Pashtuns are all our brothers. Since all Afghans are our brothers, they can return to the country.
The only goal was to change the system
The Taliban leader said that the only reason for our enmity was to change the system. This system has now changed. He said that the Taliban did not fight against America. America attacked us and we have fought this fight to protect our culture, religion, and country. Haqqani said, ‘Americans are using weapons against us and our country. The Taliban have won a big victory against their enemies.
Haqqani said that highly capable and educated people will form the government in Afghanistan. All groups will be included in this. It is believed that the Taliban has had a change of heart to stop the growing protests in the country. In the past, insurgent voices against the Taliban have intensified in Jhande and now in Panjshir.
