The spokesperson was also claimed to have said that the Taliban would, after capturing power in Kabul, “capture Kashmir from infidels also”.

Now why is Taliban supporting India? - Kuch toh raaz hain!! 

Let's hear it from the horse's mouth only

"We  are not saying that India should get out of Afghanistan. Nor can India be completely expelled from Afghanistan. The Taliban aren’t in any direct conflict with India. India troops aren’t part of NATO forces, they haven’t occupied Afghanistan. India and Afghanistan have had historic ties. If the Taliban returns to power, we would like to maintain normal relations with all countries including India. It’s possible for the Taliban and India to reconcile with each other. Our complaint is that India backed the NA, and is now supporting the Karzai government" 

India is also undertaking development projects in our country unlike the NATO countries who wants to occupy Afghanistan. The TAPI project will be a major game changer for India as it will be India's first and major oil and  gas pipeline to be connected across 4 countries. Afghanistan people will get employment and will have access to crude oil.
