Taliban Denies Claims of Desecrating Tomb of Late Jihadi Commander

[KHAAMAPRESS] The local Taliban
...Arabic for students...
government authorities in Kandahar province of southern Afghanistan denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!
of desecrating the tomb of Mullah Naqibullah Akhund, a former Jihadi commander.

Reactions have followed the desecration of Mullah Naqibullah Akhund’s burial. He was one of the previous Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
jihadist commanders, and his gravesite is in Kandahar’s Arghandab district.

Photographs that demonstrate the destruction of the commander’s tomb have been shared on social media, which the social media users claim constitutes intentional vandalism and flagrant desecration.

The mausoleum of Mullah Naqibullah was allegedly disrespected by hurtful people, according to the Jamaat-e-Islami Party led by Salahuddin Rabbani, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan.

Atta Mohammad Noor, a former governor of the Balkh province in northern Afghanistan, reacted to this destruction of the tomb by accusing the Taliban of desecration and asserting that they offended moral and ethical norms.

Ahmad Masoud, the leader of the National Resistance® Front (NRF), an armed opposition force against the Taliban, also asserted that the armed Taliban had destroyed Mullah Naqibullah Mullah’s grave, which is against the principles and values of Islam.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
the spokesperson for the Taliban governor in Kandahar province claims that the reports of Mullah Naqibullah’s grave being destroyed are false and untrue.

This comes as the tombstone of the late resistance commander, Ahmad Shah Massoud, was vandalized and desecrated, which caused a stir and infuriated the public.
