Son of ‘Lion of Panjshir’ takes forward father’s anti-Taliban legacy

Son of the slain 'Lion of Panjshir', Ahmad Shah Massoud, is taking forward his father's legacy of anti-Taliban resistance in the picturesque valley of Afghanistan's Panjshir province, which still remains free from the Taliban.

The slain 'Lion of Panjshir', Ahmad Shah Massoud, who was the face of resistance against the Taliban and earlier the Soviets in Afghanistan, left behind the legacy to his 32-year-old son. Like his father, Ahmad Massoud is now standing up for the Afghan people. Ahmad is the eldest among Massoud senior’s six children and he is the only son. He has launched an anti-Taliban front from the picturesque valley of Afghanistan's Panjshir province along with Amrullah Saleh, who was the Vice-President of Afghanistan in the Ashraf Ghani government and now claims to be the caretaker President.
