Afghanistan: Taliban says it will 'raise voice for Kashmir Muslims'

The Taliban intends to "raise its voice for Muslims" in Indian-administered Kashmir, a spokesman told the BBC.

Suhail Shaheen told the BBC's Hindi service: "As Muslims, we also have a right to raise our voice for Muslims in Kashmir, India or any other country."

India and Pakistan control different parts of the Muslim-majority territory, but both claim it as wholly theirs.

This is the first time the group has commented on Indian-administered Kashmir.

As Pakistan was always a big benefactor if the Taliban, I think it is realistic to interpret the “voice” the Taliban intends to raise as meaning funds, matériel and “volunteers” to do fighting and dying in Kashmir that the Pakistanis would prefer, for obvious reasons, not to be seen as tossing into battle themselves.
