KABUL - Taliban militant group has rejected a truce appeal made by the Ulema council of Afghanistan to halt its bloody campaign for the month of Ramazan, to pay respect to “The month of forgiveness”.

Taliban spokesman Mujahid says that they are not only rejecting the truce offer but will increase their attacks during the month.

Taliban announce their stance after religious clerics in Afghanistan appeal to the insurgent group to halt their attacks in Afghanistan and allow people worship to god during the holy month of Ramazan.

Ramazan the holy month for Muslims will began on June 18.  A true Muslim is fasting throughout the day during the month of Ramazan.

He/She does not eat, drink, smoke, listen to music, participate in musical parties or any other activity that is considered Haram in Islam.

Also during the holy month there is more spiritual reward on forgiveness. Anyone taking the first step in forgiveness or making truce with his enemy or person/people he/she does not like gets more spiritual rewards (Sawab). (KP)
