Afghan Taliban militants have rejected reports which suggest that Afghan President Hamid Karzai is engaged in secret peace talks with the Taliban group.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement, “The New York Times published a false report recently suggesting that any secret talks took place and are ongoing between the Islamic Emirate and the Kabul regime in an undisclosed location”.

Mujahid further added, “We reject this report even though we made our stance very clear to media outlets in our direct contact two days earlier”.

He also added, “The Islamic Emirate does not believe in holding secret talks at undisclosed locations”.

Earlier the New York Times had reported this week that a Taliban group in Afghanistan initiated talks with president Karzai, shortly after the Afghan consultative Loya Jirga approved the draft bilateral security agreement between Kabul and Washington.

On the contrary, officials in presidential palace have confirmed the ongoing talks between the Taliban group and president Hamid Karzai.
