Kabul, Aug 6(ANI): The Taliban has dismissed reports that their leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had shown willingness to hold peace talks with the Afghanistan government.
According to TOLOnews, a Taliban spokesman, who contacted them, said that the Afghan High Peace Council wants to raise some more funds by making such claims.
He said that there haven't been any direct or indirect contacts between the Taliban and Karzai government.
"When our leader Mullah Omar could resist against 49 countries, how come he could say he is ready for talks? This is a baseless claim. The puppet peace council makes these claims just to keep foreigners' money flowing into the council," the spokesman said.
"They are making untruthful promises. These claims would not result in anything and would not turn into reality," he added.
Earlier, a senior member of the Afghan High Peace Council had said that Omar was willing to hold peace talks with the Karzai government.
"Mullah Mohammad Omar is ready to join the peace process and he no more sticks to not holding talks with the Afghan government," Ismaiel Qasemyar had said. (ANI)
