We have right to raise voice for Muslims anywhere including Kashmir, says Taliban

While recalling the terms of the Doha agreement with the U.S., Taliban said they had "no policy of conducting armed operations against any country"

Amid concerns in India that Afghan soil under the Taliban regime can be used for terrorist activities against it, the insurgent group has said it has the right to speak out in favour of Muslims anywhere, including in Kashmir, though it does not have a policy of conducting "armed operations" against any country. Suhail Shaheen, Taliban spokesman for its political office in Doha, in an exclusive interview to BBC through video link on September 2, said, "We will raise our voice and say that Muslims are your own people, your own citizens and they are entitled to equal rights under your law." As Muslims, it was the group's right to speak out for Muslims living in Kashmir and any other country, Suhail Shaheen said while speaking from Doha. While recalling the terms of the Doha agreement with the U.S., he said they had "no policy of conducting armed operations against any country".
