India is keeping a close eye on the entire incident
Our associate Economic Times told Indian government sources that New Delhi is closely monitoring Pakistan-Afghanistan relations. Because Kabul, angry with Islamabad, may try to strengthen relations with New Delhi. India has always wanted a government in Kabul that would not allow Pakistan to use Afghan soil as a haven for terrorist groups and a launchpad for anti-India activities.
India increased talks with Taliban
In the last one year, India has increased talks with Taliban, which is not going down well with Pakistan. India has also allowed its representative to work from the Afghan Consulate in Mumbai. Kabul has assured India that it will not allow its soil to be used for anti-India activities.
Kabul also showed interest in increasing partnership with Delhi
Kabul has also shown interest in expanding humanitarian and development partnerships with New Delhi. The assurance was given when a senior Foreign Ministry official met Taliban’s acting Defense Minister Mohammad Yacob Mujahid in Kabul in November. Mujahid is the son of Mullah Omar, who was the leader of Afghanistan between 1996-2001. Sources said that at present there is stability in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. However, women’s rights and education still remain a matter of concern.
