The political outfit which is called the "High Council of National Resistance of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan" was announced by the leader of the splinter faction of Jamiat-e-Islami, Atta Mohammad Noor who took to Facebook for announcing the formation of a movement and further stated that it will consist various mainstream groups. As reported by ANI, reacting on the same, the Taliban government in Afghanistan has issued a serious warning against such formation.
