Taliban have recently reacted against Afghan- Indian close cooperation and warned the Indian Government to stop giving military aids to Afghan Government, experts believe that receiving of Indian military aids will provoke Taliban the most to increase their terrorist activities in the country.

Senator Zalmay Zabuli said,” The India military aids somehow provoke Taliban to fight against Afghan Government, since USA is committed to provide more military aids and equipments for the Afghan security forces then it’s better that USA to do so.”

Political expert Noor Agha Sharifi said,” India aids is vital and effective for Afghanistan if the President considers the National interests, this can enable Afghan security forces to easily get destroyed.”
