Zee News
As per reports, the Taliban is working to form an interim caretaker government.
India has said there is a lack of clarity of any entity forming the government in Afghanistan and New Delhi continues to be on a wait and watch mode. When asked whether India will be recognizing the Taliban, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said: "The situation on the ground is uncertain. The prime concern is the safety and security of people. Currently, there is a lack of clarity about any entity forming the government in Kabul. So I think we are jumping the gun on recognition." "Currently there is no clarity about any entity forming the government in Afghanistan. There are lot of stories going around on who will be representatives of that government. Whether that government will be inclusive, we continue to monitor the situation carefully. It`s an evolving situation. There is a peace process and discussions are still going on as we speak. We know the ground situation," the MEA spokesperson added.More Related News
