NDS - RAW game plan foiled in Afghanistan

TEHRAN – Afghan Taliban spokesperson on Monday rejected rumors about the militant group’s unity with Daesh Takfiri terrorists in Afghanistan and termed it a plot of Afghan Intelligence NDS and the Indian Intelligence RAW to malign the Afghan Taliban movement and equate it with the International terrorist organisation.

 General Abdul Raziq, Afghan National Police chief for the southern city of Kandahar, as saying that the Taliban chief has urged its members to avoid clashes with Daesh elements.

The reports said Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban chief has made the remarks during his recent visit to Musa Qala District in Helmand Province south of Afghanistan.

In reaction to the report, Zabihullah Mujahid told Tasnim that the Taliban visit to provinces is a normal issue.

“The Taliban leadership order to all Mujahideen (militants) is to prevent decisively any type of Daesh activity,” he noted.

The Taliban spokesperson said such rumors is part of enemy's negative propaganda campaign against Taliban, adding, “Fighting Daesh group is the Taliban leader’s decree.”

Afghan Intelligence NDS and Indian Intelligence RAW in collaboration with each other seeing their failure to curb the Afghan Taliban movement in Afghanistan have started to create rumours and misinformation among the masses against Afghan Taliban.

The aim of the misinformation exercise is to create distrust and space between the Afghan Taliban and people of Afghanistan. Additionally NDS and RAW wants to equate the Afghan Taliban movement with the international terrorist organisation ISIS.

Taliban referred to Daesh Takfirist ideology, and said, “Unity with a group that consider killing of the innocent and defenseless Muslims as lawful would be impossible.”

Mujahid said the rumors are parts of certain media propaganda to frighten people from Taliban and pave the way for presence of the US forces in Afghanistan.

The longstanding conflict between the Taliban and Daesh has intensified in recent months.

In June 2017, Daesh declared war on the Taliban, describing the Afghan group as “hypocrites and stooges of the unbelievers.”

A few days later, Taliban spokesman told Tasnim that the Taliban are resolved to target Daesh.
