Thousands of people demonstrated on the streets of Kabul on Tuesday against the Taliban rule, weeks after the insurgents captured power in the country by entering the national capital.

The demonstrators were also heard chanting slogans against Pakistan as they claimed the country’s jets conducted airstrikes in Panjshir province, local media reports said.

They have gathered at the gate of the Pakistani embassy in Kabul and said that they do not puppet government in Afghanistan and asked for an inclusive government, reports Khaama Press.

The people gathered after co-leader of the resistance front in Panjshir province Ahmad Masoud in a voice clip called on people of Afghanistan to resurrect against the Taliban, the news agency reported.
