According to him, the Taliban-controlled forces are ready to respond to any dissenting movements.<\/p>\n<p>These statements come amid growing concerns in recent months regarding extensive political and social restrictions across various parts of the country. Critics argue that harsh crackdowns on opponents and suppression of dissenting voices are fueling dissatisfaction and further instability.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Taliban administration has not presented a clear and defined framework for the political participation of different factions.
