The Taliban spokesman said today that they had no connection with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a "one-day message" in Sri Lanka.

Mano MP further said in this regard,

The Afghan people have the right to decide their own future. For the past several decades, Afghanistan has been the playground of the two powers, first the Soviet Union and then the United States.

It was the Americans who plunged the Taliban into building the Muhajireen. But the rule of the Taliban in the Middle Ages is unspeakable.

The Taliban have angrily violated the internationally accepted human rights charter. They can not be waxed and waxed today that everything is Western media propaganda.

However, today we hope that time will teach them a lesson. The right of the innocent Afghan people to determine the future of their country outside of authoritarian motives must first be exercised responsibly by the Afghan rulers, whoever they may be.

The Taliban should not be allowed to turn Afghanistan into the playground of another superpower, China, now that their history has deteriorated in the past between the two powers.

Maintaining balanced relations with India, Pakistan and China will give the Taliban global recognition. By respecting social justice, law and order, human rights, and especially the right of Afghan women to education and employment, the Taliban must gradually step forward to instill confidence in the Afghan people that this is "our rule."

The Taliban should not allow the Afghan younger generation to go back to the fundamentalist 9th century and decide that the last 20 years of US occupation are okay. Without it, life would not return to normal. There will be no stable rule.

So, like Russia and the United States, China could run another round. It could turn out to be the final round as well. The river of blood should no longer flow among the innocent Afghan people.

A Taliban spokesman said today that "we have nothing to do with the LTTE." It does not immerse anyone here largely in happiness or worry.

It is true that during the last interim Taliban regime, the "Bamiyan" world Buddhist heritage monuments were destroyed by gunfire. The Taliban must make it a priority to create a domestic and foreign environment that will bring immediate relief to the Afghan people without committing such outrageous nonsense.

He said the Taliban's response to the superpowers occupying Afghanistan was to transform and show itself to be a responsible ruler who loves their people.
