THE PERILOUS GAMBLE: ZAWAHIRI'S KILLING AND TALIBAN'S BLAME

Image
  The Taliban were alarmed by Zawahiri's murder, and a month after the attack, they tried to pin Pakistani officials with responsibility.                                                                                                                             The Taliban are now unbalanced as a result of the murder of Aiymen Al Zawahiri in the center of Kabul. Or at least their defense minister, who struggles to accept the unpleasant truth and its dire repercussions for the fledgling Taliban government. The Taliban have pledged in the Doha Agreement not to harbor terrorists on Afghan soil, so Zawahiri's presence in a safe house in Kabul is a damning indictment of them.

"True to its customary revisionist goal, the BJP-RSS-led dispensation has once again sought to reference the sad events and mass migration that took place in the aftermath of Independence in 1947 in a hypocritical and biased manner."   The statement said, "It is reprehensible that the BJP government is willfully seeking to play with the
