The Taliban supporters have rejected these claims.&nbsp; According to TOLO News, a senior Taliban leader Amir Khan Muttaqi has sent a recorded message to the people of Panjshir asking them to join the Islamic Emirate. According to Mutaqi, talks were held to solve Panjshir&#39;s problems, but so far there have been no results. He cautioned the people that the resistance front wanted to fight but Panjshir people should convince them to find a peaceful solution. He said the Taliban still wants to solve the issue peacefully but he did not say why the Taliban did not ask for the second round of talks.</p>
