Resistance Front terms Taliban's govt illegitimate, says will declare a parallel govt

The National Resistance Front (NRF), which has been battling the Taliban regime, has termed the new Taliban's caretaker government "illegitimate" and said that it will declare a parallel govt after consultation with politicians.

Ahmad Masoud, the co-leader of the resistance front in Panjshir province, also said the resistance group will declare a parallel government after consultation with politicians.

"The resistance front acknowledged that they will establish a transitional democratic and legitimate government which is forged based on the votes of people and is acceptable to the international community," the resistance front was quoted by Khaama news as saying in a statement.
