The Spokesperson of the Taliban insulted the Prime Minister of Pakistan by calling him ‘Puppet’. The Spokesperson of the Taliban described Imran Khan as a ‘puppet’ and said he was not elected by the people of Pakistan. The Statement given by the Taliban raises questions on the Election commission of Pakistan also.
According to a media report, the spokesperson of the Taliban on Friday, during an interview urged Pakistan not to interfere in Afghanistan affairs.
“Imran Khan is also called ‘selected’ and a ‘puppet’. We don’t want anyone to interfere in our affairs, just like we don’t in other countries’ affairs,” the Spokesperson of the Taliban told the media.
A few days, Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan released a statement in which he said that Afghanistan cannot sustain a ‘puppet’ government.
Responding to Khan, the Taliban spokesman said in the interview, “You are talking about Imran Khan, that he wants an inclusive government in Afghanistan? Pakistan is itself in deep trouble and facing many difficulties. Imran Khan himself has not been elected, he has not become prime minister with the consent of the Pakistani nation,” says Media report.
The spokesman said, “In Pakistan, the people are saying that the current government is the puppet of Pakistan Army. The overall fundamental rights of major and minor ethnicities of Pakistan are not being given. All ethnicities of Pakistan are not happy with the current government. That’s why they call it a puppet government of the army.”
“And to a large extent, they are right, as this is a reality. But still, as an Afghan, I have no right to call Imran Khan a puppet,” he said.
“Or that I start interfering in their government affairs or start saying that I don’t like this Pakistani government. The same we want from others, to stop saying that they don’t like this Afghan government and want an inclusive government”, the report said.
“Everyone should focus on their own country, and should work for the solution of the problems their people are facing. There are so many problems in Pakistan, but we have never talked about them and neither have we given any suggestions to Pakistan for these problems because we respect their sovereignty. We want the same respect from Pakistan,” he said, as per the report.
