How Will The Taliban Takeover In Afghanistan Influence Bangladesh?

According to a recent MEMRI report, feminist protesters on the streets of Kabul have concurred with Basu’s assessment that Pakistan stands behind the Taliban taking root in Afghanistan.  As a result, they chanted: “Death to Pakistan.”  

As MEMRI noted, “The anti-Pakistan protests, which were held in Herat and other cities, reflect a deeply buried understanding among Afghans that it was the Pakistani military’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) that planned and engineered a long-running bloodshed in Afghanistan that has gone on for the past four decades by aiding and nurturing the current Afghan Taliban leaders after 9/11 and their predecessors, with American and Saudi aid, during the 1980s.”

“In this context, the visit of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt.-Gen. Faiz Hameed to Kabul seems to have come as a reminder to Afghans that Pakistan is the new invader of Afghanistan through its proxy: the Islamic Emirate, the Afghan Taliban organization that America courted over the past few years, ultimately helping the jihadist organization to recapture power on August 15, 2021,” the report noted. “Lt.-Gen. Faiz Hameed visited Kabul to mentor the Afghan Taliban leaders on forming a government that is to Pakistan’s liking. Pakistani ISI is known as the creator and nurturer of jihadi terror organizations in Pakistan and its surrounding region: Afghanistan and Kashmir.” 

However sadly, the reach of the Taliban also extends into India itself.  

Veteran Bollywood actor Nasiruddin Shah has released a video condemning a group of Indian Muslims for praising the Taliban’s attack on Afghanistan. The veteran actor described a sector of Indian Muslims celebrating the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan as dangerous. In response, some Indian Muslims started abusing the national award-winning actor on social media platforms for not being a “true Muslim.”
