India on August 16, argued for an “inclusive dispensation” to take over in Afghanistan, signaling that it might recognise a Government in Kabul with participation of the Taliban, if the arrangement had “broader representation” and ensured that the territory of the country would not be used to export terror, reports Deccan Herald. “There is widespread panic among the people. Women and children are in distress. Incidents of firing have been reported from the city, including at the airport,” stated, T S Tirumurti, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN). Tirumurti expressed India’s hope that the situation in Afghanistan would stabilize soon and “the parties concerned” would address “the humanitarian and security issues”. “We also hope that there is an inclusive dispensation which represents all sections of Afghan society. Voices of Afghan women, aspirations of Afghan children and the rights of minorities must be respected. A broader representation would help the arrangement gain more acceptability and legitimacy.”
