On Thursday, The New York Times published an opinion piece written by the Deputy Leader of Taliban, Sirajuddin Haqqani, titled - What We, the Taliban, Want.

He’s a globally designated terrorist with the US government offering a $10M for his arrest!!!"

Others soon joined in to troll the media house. A Twitter user wrote, "New York Times publishes Op-Ed by US designated terrorist Sirajuddin Haqqani....Shame Osama and Baghdadi died before becoming NYT’s Editors." Another user wrote, "I am a little gobsmacked, that The New York Times has given oped space to Sirajuddin Haqqani, deputy chief of the Taliban. I am sorry but this reflects to a major level of tone-deafness at the Times..."
