Taliban praises India for resisting US pressure, India sees it as a warning

It is true that America failed to pursuade India into accepting a larger responsibility in Afghanistan after American withdrawal. However a blatant priase for India from Taliban sounds alarming and dangerous according Indian intelligence sources.

Vikram Sood, a former chief of India's intelligence agency, said the Taliban statement held an implicit warning for India.

"It's more a gentle reminder asking India not to mess around in Afghanistan after the Americans leave," he told Reuters.

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta this month encouraged India to take a more active role in Afghanistan as most foreign combat troops leave in 2014. The Taliban said Panetta had failed.

"He spent three days in India to transfer the heavy burden to their shoulders, to find an exit, and to flee from Afghanistan," the group said on its English website.

"Some reliable media sources said that the Indian authorities did not pay heed to (US) demands and showed their reservations, because the Indians know or they should know that the Americans are grinding their own axe."
