India plans ‘direct communication’ with Taliban as world prepares for life after US pullout Nayanima Basu © Provided by The Print New Delhi: India is planning to activate direct channels of communication with the Taliban as the possibility of the Islamist group soon taking the centre stage in mainstream politics in Kabul is appearing to be an eventuality now, ThePrint has learnt. The move comes as countries such as the US and the UK have already begun to recognise the legitimacy of the Taliban. While India has assured support to the Ashraf Ghani government for peace and stability in Afghanistan as the Taliban has gone on an offensive, the Narendra Modi government believes it should begin to establish a network of contacts with those in the Taliban who sit in Doha, the capital of Qatar, and those who see New Delhi as their “partner” for development.
