World / Taliban preserving budhha statues eyes on china investment

After the Taliban occupation in Afghanistan, people feared that the Buddha statues there would be vandalized. However this time it is not happening. The Taliban are engaged in protecting these idols. At the same time, two decades ago, when the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, they demolished a huge statue of Buddha. They considered it a sign of paganism. For this reason Talibanis started destroying the idols.

The reason not to break the statue this time is not that the Taliban have become too liberal. Actually, there is a selfishness hidden behind it. There are many statues of Buddha in caves located in the villages of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not sabotaging here because its eyes are on China. He hopes that if China helps him financially in exchange for the huge reserves of copper, he will get some relief amid international sanctions.

The security head of Mes Ayanak Copper Mine said that there was a Buddhist stupa built in the first century. Hakumullah Mubariz said that he used to fight against American forces earlier. After the withdrawal of the American army, he has been given the task of guarding this place.

Let us tell you that Afghanistan has huge reserves of metals. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the US, many countries are not able to invest here even if they want. If China invests here, Afghanistan will get big benefits and will help in improving the economic system. Earlier in 2008, Hamid Karzai had signed a 30-year contract for mining with a Chinese company. Due to continuous violence in the region, the contract could not be fulfilled and the Chinese people left the mining work in 2014 itself.
