- It is likely that political parties not opposing Taliban, might support religious fanatics to establish Talibani rule in India !
New Delhi – “We salute the Taliban fighters, they have defeated the strongest army. An unarmed Nation has defeated the strongest army. They entered the palace of Kabul. The whole world saw how they entered Kabul. There was no pride or arrogance in them. There were no big words. Those young men are kiss-ing the soil of Kabul. Congratulations ! This Hindi Muslim salutes you. I salute your courage. Salute your spirit”, said All India Muslim Law Board member Moulna Sajjad Nomani in a video statement, after the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

AIMPLB Secretary Umrain said the Taliban conquered Afghanistan not with the power of means and resources but with ‘the eternal wealth of faith and belief’. He also praised the amnesty offered by the Taliban to women as well as officials and soldiers of the US-backed regime that surrendered before the insurgents with the pullout of US troops after two decades.
Umrain said Taliban’s victory against the forces that once banished them proved ‘wars are won with the help of God, not with intelligence and strength’.
Many Afghans, fearing a return to the Taliban’s oppressive rule and strict interpretation of the Sharia law, are desperate to flee the country. The group had previously governed Afghanistan (1996-2001) under a harsh version of the Islamic law in which women were forbidden to work or attend school, and could not leave their homes without a male relative accompanying them.
