After the Taliban took over Afghanistan the ousted leaders of Jammu and Kashmir have now started to ratchet things in the valley and leading from the front is former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti who said if the Taliban follow ‘real’ Islamic Sharia in Afghanistan where rights for women, children and elderly people are specified, they can become an example for the world.
“Taliban are emerging as a reality. They must not rule Afghanistan like they did in their first term,” she said.
Mehbooba Mufti who is the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said the previous regime of the Taliban from 1996 to 2001 was against humanity and human rights, but this time if the Taliban follow real Sharia rule in Afghanistan as mentioned in the Holy Quran which, specifies rights for women, children and the elderly and govern as per the model of Madina given by the prophet things will be lot different.
“If they (Taliban) adopt that model, then only the countries of the world will do business with them. But if God forbid they follow the methods used by them in the nineties, it will be very difficult for Afghanistan and the rest of the world,” she said.
The other top leader of J&K National Conference leader Farooq Abdhula has said, “Afghanistan is a separate country. Now those who have come to power need to run the government. I hope that they will do justice to everyone and run a good government in which they will respect human rights and run the government in accordance with Islamic laws. I would like to add that they should try to maintain friendly relationships with all nations.”
Meanwhile, photos have emerged of the Taliban beating journalists that are now making the rounds in social media and there are also videos of Taliban jihadists beating women. Also, the Taliban have switched off the internet in areas where protests are being held by women fearing it will be seen by the world.
