Not an inch of land is controlled terrors in Afghanan, says Taliban miner | World News
Afghan Foreign Miner Amir Khan Muttaqi, who is visiting India for the first time, claimed on Thursday that terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad no longer operate from Afghan soil.
“Not a single one of them is in Afghanan. Not an inch of land is controlled them in Afghanan. In the last four years, everyone has been removed. The Afghanan against whom we carried out an operation (in 2021) has transformed,” he said after meeting Indian Foreign Miner S. Jaishankar.
Muttaqi urged other countries to follow Afghanan’s path of peace. “Let other countries also act against such terror groups like Afghanan did for peace,” he added.

The Taliban miner’s maiden visit to India coincided with New Delhi restoring full diplomatic relations with Afghanan. Jaishankar also announced that India will upgrade its Technical Mission in Kabul to a full embassy, highlighting a “deep interest” in the progress of the neighbouring country.

Muttaqi addressed a recent blast near the Afghan border, accusing Pakan of orchestrating the attack. “There has been an attack near the border in remote areas. We consider this act of Pakan wrong. Problems cannot be solved like this. We are open for talks. They should solve their problems on their own. Afghanan has peace and progress after 40 years. No one should have a problem with it. Afghanan is now an independent nation. Why are people troubled if we have peace?” he said.
He further warned that Afghanan’s resilience should not be tested. “If someone wants to do this (cause Afghans trouble), they should ask the UK, Soviet Union, America, and NATO. They will explain that it is not good to play games with Afghanan,” Muttaqi said, stressing that improved relations with Pakan cannot be one-sided.

Praising India for its response after the recent earthquake in Afghanan, Muttaqi said, “Afghanan looks at India as a close friend. Afghanan wants relations based on mutual respect, trade, and people-to-people relations. We are ready to create a consultative mechanism of understanding, which helps towards strengthening our relations.”
