It has now been reported that the Taliban has banned the corona vaccine in Paktia, eastern Afghanistan. Notices in this regard have also been pasted at the regional hospital there. The corona vaccine ward of the hospital has been lying closed for the last 3 days.

Those who are reaching to get the corona vaccine are being told that it is banned. The Taliban has also asked the vaccine administrative team to stop its operations. However, the Taliban has not made any statement in this regard. The Taliban have also been accused of removing the flag from the Nishan Sahib Gurudwara. However, the Taliban say the Sikhs themselves had removed their flag because they feared they could be tortured. According to the Taliban, its 'security officials' assured the Sikhs that no one would torture them, after which the flag was re-installed. The Taliban has praised the projects being run by India for Afghanistan's citizens and said India has already been doing so and it is commendable. But, at the same time, the Taliban have threatened that if India uses the army in Afghanistan, it will not be good for it.

Taliban spokesman Mohammad Suhail Shaheen has said that India must have seen the consequences of military activities in Afghanistan, so it is now up to them. Taliban spokesman Suhail also said that there have been reports of meetings between Indian representatives and the Taliban but it cannot confirm it. He said a meeting was held in Qatar's capital Doha in which an Indian delegation also participated.
