The interim Taliban government (movement banned in Russia) assured minority communities in Afghanistan that the country is a "common home for all."
"Afghanistan is a common home of all Afghans. All ethnic groups and citizens of the country have the right to live in security and to contribute to the development of the country," deputy prime minister in the Taliban administration Abdul Kabir said in a meeting with representatives of the Hindu and Sikh communities.
Kabir assured them that the Taliban will protect every group in the country and "does not discriminate with any citizen of Afghanistan," Anadolu Agency reported.
"The Islamic Emirate has brought security for all and our policy is for everyone, including minorities, to live in prosperity and peace," the statement added.
