The Afghan Taliban has condemned the abduction and torture of Selsela Alikhil, daughter of Afghanistan’s ambassador to Pakistan, by unidentified persons in Islamabad.
Suhail Shaheen, spokesperson of the Taliban said on Twitter:
The kidnapping of an Afghan girl in Pakistan is against humanity and an aggression which we condemn.”
He further asked the government of Pakistan to step up its efforts to arrest and punish the perpetrators so that such acts do not give rise to hate between the two nations and the spoilers don’t have ground to misuse it.
The Taliban’s reaction has come after protests in Kabul about the incident and the subsequently the Ashraf Ghani government recalling its ambassador and all diplomatic staff and their families in Islamabad in protest against the incident.
