India will never accept outcome in Afghanistan decided by force: Jaishankar

India will never accept outcome in Afghanistan decided by force: Jaishankar
India has been increasingly concerned by a massive surge in violence in Afghanistan, including the Taliban’s campaign to capture districts in rural areas and crucial border crossings. It has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire and resumption of intra-Afghan talks.

So does this mean India will not accept a military defeat of Taliban as well ? Or does the outcome of force only applies on the side that India favors.
 
Taliban refused to send us Pics of Bobs and Vagane, hence we will never accept their Govt and Rule.
 
Massive strategic defeat for India. Absolutely massive. Their puppet regime in Afghanistan just collapsed and the puppet Afghan President ran away faster than the Indian soldiers running away from the PLA.

If Taliban wants to rule, they should participate in the election and get people's support.
India currently supports Afghan govt as it is elected.

Taliban is trying to use force to occupy which is wrong.

There is no government in Afghanistan as of now & India is an irrelevant by-stander. Jai shankar can go suck a lollipop in the far corner.

And what India's gonna do about it? US just fled. will India take over the US baton?

India simply does not care.
They only care about their own interests. Which is no-one should enter their border illegally and do any act of terror.

Honestly speaking, India is new to this power game. It does not have the same recognition as USA.

India can send it's soldiers to Afghanistan, but that will come at a cost. Which is bad reputation against Indians all over the world. Most of the world will start seeing us as conquerors, colonists.

India cannot afford that as of now.

United nations has to decide on this matter. If there is a move by UN to act against Taliban, India will do it's best to support.

Till then, India is just there to provide any humanitarian aid, medicines, relief equipment, etc
 
Self deluded smelly cunts, who gives an F to what india thinks, and guess what even the Taliban didn't gave one either

By the way Which Taliban are indians trying to establish contacts with? the good or the bad?

India is working with the world community to push political negotiations to find a lasting solution to the conflict in Afghanistan and will never accept any outcome decided through the use of force, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.

There was a very detailed discussion on the situation in Afghanistan with visiting US secretary of state Antony Blinken on Wednesday and there is “a very strong convergence” in the positions of India and the US on this issue, Jaishankar said while answering a question in the Rajya Sabha or upper house of Parliament.

“We were very clear that there must be a negotiated political settlement in Afghanistan, that there cannot be a military solution, there cannot be a takeover by use of force in Afghanistan, that we will work with the international community to ensure that political negotiations for a settlement are pursued seriously and we would never accept any outcome which is decided by force,” he said.

He was responding to a question from BJP lawmaker Swapan Dasgupta on China’s apparent efforts to prop up the Taliban. A Taliban delegation led by chief political negotiator Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Wednesday, the first high-level engagement between the two sides since the US began withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan.

India has been increasingly concerned by a massive surge in violence in Afghanistan, including the Taliban’s campaign to capture districts in rural areas and crucial border crossings. It has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire and resumption of intra-Afghan talks to find a settlement.

Responding to another question from Samajwadi Party lawmaker Rewati Raman Singh on whether human rights and democracy had figured in his talks with Blinken, Jaishankar said the two sides had a “good discussion” on global issues such as human rights, democracy, trafficking and big tech

Jaishankar said he had highlighted that India’s approach to such issues is guided by a “quest for a perfect union”, though the government also seeks to “right historical wrongs”.

This was an apparent reference to the enactment of laws such as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and Jaishankar had made a similar comment at his joint media interaction with Blinken on Wednesday.

Jaishankar said the issue of freedom should not be treated as “non-governance or as abdication of responsibilities”. He added, “We believe that our conversations on this subject should be balanced, we also feel that we should have the same standards when we look at the issues and that all conversations should be fact-based.”

The minister also defended India’s participation in the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or Quad, a grouping that includes Australia, Japan and the US, in the face of criticism from China while responding to more questions.

“Let me make it very clear that when it comes to our relations with the US, Quad [and] Indo-Pacific, these are all our national choices which serve our national interests. We look at Quad as a platform where four countries have come together for the good of the world, who are discussing a range of issues from making and providing vaccines to education and connectivity to maritime security,” he said.

Any narrative about the Quad not based on reality will never gain traction, and India’s work with international partners “will help deal with many regional and global challenges”, he said.
