Ajmer Sharif Dargah slams Taliban rule in Afghanistan, says insurgents ‘maligning Islam’

Ajmer Sharif Dargah has come down heavily on the Taliban after it took over the reins of Afghanistan.

Spititual head of Ajmer Sharif Dargah – Syed Jainul Abedin said that the Taliban is maligning Islam by resorting to terror in the name of Sharia.

He said that dictatorship of the Taliban in Afghanistan is spreading hatred towards Islam across the world.

The head of the Ajmer Sharif Dargah further cautioned the Indian Muslims from falling prey to any propaganda in the name of religion.

Syed Jainul Abedin said that the Taliban has been interpreting Sharia Law differently to fulfil their agenda of terrorism.

“Sharia Law protects the rights of women, the elderly and children. It has never allowed to kill innocent people,” Syed Jainul Abedin said.

“I strongly condemn those who support and welcome the illegal authority of the Taliban and their terrorist ideology,” he added.

He further said that destruction, restrictions on women and killings in the name of Sharia is a crime in Islam and cannot be supported.

Abedin said, “First duty should be to save our country, maintain unity and peace in the country and then think about ourselves.”

“We hope for peace and harmony to be restored in Afghanistan at the earliest,” he added.
