The Afghan situation remains fragile and fluid, much to India’s vexation, as it is keen to help rebuild the war-ravaged country with which it has had deep historical and cultural ties. Mullah Yaqoob, the Islamic Emirate’s powerful defence minister and son of Taliban founder and late supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, has been pursuing the onerous responsibility of securing the country that is facing a slew of challenges on multiple fronts.
In a global exclusive interview with CNN-News18, he underscores the regime’s keenness to have cordial relations with India, maintains that despite some concerns ties with Pakistan remain good, vows that his country’s soil will not be used by terror groups to attack other nations, and also denies charges of persecution of Afghan women while criticising other countries for imposing bans on certain attire and religious features.
