Kabul: The Taliban have said that religious scholars will lead the upcoming government in Afghanistan as the country’s government collapsed over a week ago when the terror group seized Kabul, a media report said.
At a gathering in Kabul, the Taliban said that their 20 years of struggle should not go in vain and religious scholars should take the lead and be the core of the upcoming government in Afghanistan. The terror group had invited tens of religious scholars in a grand gathering to ask their cooperation in forging a sound political system and inviting people to support the future government, Afghanistan’s Khaama Press said on Monday.
Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s spokesperson, said that they are creating an all-inclusive government in which the rights of all people will be secured.
The Taliban are in talks with intra-Afghan leaders in an attempt to form a government.
