Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa says the Afghan government's delegation is sharing issues with the media that have not yet been agreed upon.
Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa, a member of the Taliban's negotiating team for the inter-Afghan talks in Doha, said, "It seems that the other side (the Afghan government delegation) is deliberately obstructing the talks and wants to delay the process.
In an exclusive interview with Nen.asia, Mullah Khairkhwa also pointed out the differences between the two sides over the modalities of the talks.
He says the Afghan government's negotiating team shares issues with the media that have not yet been agreed upon, and speaks falsely.
According to him, this attitude has made them suspicious that the other side (government delegation) does not want the issues to be resolved.
Two main points of contention in the formulation of the procedure
Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa stressed that the agreement between the Taliban and the United States is the basis for the ongoing inter-Afghan talks, but the other side, the Afghan government delegation, insisted that the agreement should not be mentioned in the talks.
"If the other side does not accept the basic premise that the ongoing talks in Doha are based on an agreement between the Taliban and the United States, then there is no need for talks," he said.
On the second point of contention, Mullah Khairkhwa said, "The Taliban want the Hanafi religion to be resolved if there are any differences or differences of opinion during the negotiations."
However, he claimed that the Afghan government's delegation wanted Shiite religious members to mention Jafari's jurisprudence in this regard.
"The Hanafi religion has existed in Afghanistan for centuries, and their emphasis on this religion in the ongoing negotiations is limited to that negotiation," said a member of the Taliban's delegation.
He says that if an agreement is reached and the constitution is discussed in the future, then people of other religions can discuss the issue.
What does the Afghan delegation say?
Afghan government delegation in Doha
Neither the Afghan government nor the Afghan delegation in Doha has responded to the Taliban's latest allegations.
But two days ago, Amin Ahmadi, a member of the government's delegation, told TOLOnews in an exclusive interview that the Taliban's behavior, demands and tone of the talks were wrong.
Mr Ahmadi said the Taliban spoke kindly to foreign officials and the media, but used harsh language when negotiating with a government delegation.
Mr Ahmadi told TOLOnews that the differences between the Hanafi and Jafari sects had diminished, but that the Afghan people had reached a point where they should not be divided on the basis of religion.
On the second point of contention (the basis of the inter-Afghan talks is the agreement between the Taliban and the United States), Amin Ahmadi said that the Taliban actually view the current Afghan system in a way that is far from the truth. Call yourself a replacement for the current system.
Mr Ahmadi said the Afghan government's delegation wanted a compromise other than the title of Amir al-Muminin, in which all Taliban would consider themselves and their families safe and secure, but could not hand over power to anyone under the title of Amir al-Muminin.
