Afghanistan: Taliban says it will 'raise voice for Kashmir Muslims'

KABUL, 05 September 2021, (TON): A spokesman told media “the Taliban intends to "raise its voice for Muslims" in Indian-administered Kashmir.”

Suhail Shaheen said "as Muslims, we also have a right to raise our voice for Muslims in Kashmir, India or any other country."

India and Pakistan control different parts of the Muslim-majority territory, but both claim it as wholly theirs.

There has been violence on the Indian-run side for 30 years, because of a separatist insurgency.

The Taliban have declared victory in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of US troops in August. The Islamists are now in control and expected to announce a new government.

This is the first time the group has commented on Indian-administered Kashmir.
