An old video showing a group of men issuing threats to the Indian government over Kashmir has been revived and is being shared as recent.

The video is being shared in the backdrop of the recent developments in Afghanistan. On August 15, the Taliban captured the Presidential Palace in Kabul and overthrew the Ashraf Ghani led Government.
On August 17, a Taliban spokesman said in a press conference, "Women will be granted permissible rights under Sharia law." Meanwhile, human rights groups are concerned about the massive violation of freedom of women in the Taliban regime as during their previous reign between 1996 and 2001, girls as young as 10 year-old were not allowed to go to schools; there was also an order of the use of full veil for women.
A Hindi caption with a Facebook post sharing the viral video translates to 'Look, not even two days and Taliban is already threatening India. Brace up for another mishap'.
(Hindi: लो अब दो दीन भी नहीं हुऐ और तालिबान का हिंदुस्तान के लिए भी धमकी भरा पैगाम आ गया…..एक और हादसे के लिए तैयार रहिए)

The man goes on threatening the Indian government in the video.
(मैं कई दिनों से सुन रहा हूं कि इंडिया पाकिस्तान को जंग की धमकी दे रहा है. मैं इंडिया के हिन्दू हुकूमत को बता देना चाहता हूं कि हम पाकिस्तानी आर्मी और आवाम के साथ हैं. तुम हमारा कुछ नहीं बिगाड़ सकते हो. जिस तरह हमने अमरीका को रुलाया उस तरह तुम्हारा भी यही हाल होगा.)
