NEW DELHI, 26 September 2021, (TON): As Prime Minister Imran Khan appealed to global leaders at the United Nations to work with Afghanistan's triumphant Taliban, India attempted to find fault with Pakistan's approach.

According to Indian officials, who claimed the others concurred “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised concerns about Pakistan during talks with US President Joe Biden as well as a broader four-way summit with the leaders of Australia and Japan.”

“There was a clear sense that a more careful look and a more careful examination and monitoring of Pakistan's role in Afghanistan, Pakistan's role on the issue of terrorism, had to be kept,” India's Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla told reporters after the White House talks.

PM Imran, addressing the UN General Assembly, said that the Afghan Taliban have promised to respect human rights and build an inclusive government since taking over last month, despite global disappointment in a caretaker cabinet.

He said “if the world community incentivises them, and encourages them to walk this talk, it will be a win-win situation for everyone.”

“We must strengthen and stabilise the current government, for the sake of the people of Afghanistan.”
