Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson, rejected the claims that there were differences between the Taliban leaders.

According to Mujahid, his comments about how to criticise the supreme leader of the group had been focused on the media.

The Taliban spokesperson said that foreign circles have misinterpreted his recent comments in which Mujahid said that the Taliban leader should not be openly criticised.

Mujahid added that his comments had not been aimed at a specific person, however, he spoke about the activities and criticism of the media regarding the Taliban leaders.

Meanwhile, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's interior minister, had criticised the monopolisation of power by Taliban leaders in a gathering in Khost province on Saturday and said that the current situation is not acceptable.

Haqqani had said that the current situation will result into rifts between the people of Afghanistan and the Taliban.

A day after Haqqani's speech, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid had said at a gathering at Kabul University that criticism of the supreme leader should be conducted privately.

Several senior Taliban leaders said on Wednesday that the legitimate desires of the people must be answered for the survival of the Taliban regime.
