Hizb-e-Islami on Tuesday rejected rumors of the existence of factions in the country, saying the party was united under the leadership of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
 
According to Hizb-e-Islami, rumors about the existence of Hizb-e-Islami factions is propaganda on the part of rivals.
 
“Hizb-e-Islami has been active for fifty years and it does not need technical issues. I assure you that the party is united under the leadership of Mr. Hekmatyar,” said Hizb-e-Islami's top negotiator Amin Karim.
 
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said that Hizb-e-Islami has been registered as a party by the ministry under the chairmanship of Abdul Hadi Arghandiwal.
 
“Hizb-e-Islami has been officially registered with us and it has the license to operate. This party was registered with us under the leadership of Abdul Hadi Arghandiwal in 2005 with ten thousand members,” said Justice Minister Abdul Baseer Anwar.
 
But, the Hekmatyar-led party has hit out over the assertion, saying Hekmatyar-led Hizb-e-Islami has been active in politics for fifty years and there is no need to discuss technical issues.
 
At the same time, there is speculation that party leadership issues have sparked tension between Hizb-e-Islami under the leadership of Abdul Hadi Arghandiwal and Hizb-e-Islami which is led by Hekmatyar.
 
Rumors exist that disagreements between the two factions have also overshadowed the implementation of the peace accord between government and Hizb-e-Islami under Hekmatyar.
 
Despite the fact that the Afghan government signed the peace deal with Hizb-e-Islami as a political party, Arghandiwal has said that they will reach consensus about the issue with Hekmatyar.
 
But, Karim, Hekmatyar's negotiator, has dismissed claims about the factions.
 
As part of the deal, Hekmatyar was due to arrive in Kabul before the start of 1396 - the new solar year - but Hekmatyar's aide said that security issues have hindered Hekmatyar’s return to Kabul.
 
“When Mr. Hekmatyar comes, we will discusses internal party issues, issues related to the country and outside the country,” said Arghandiwal.
 
After months of backdoor negotiations, finally in September, the Afghan National Unity Government (NUG) and Hekmatyar's Hizb-e-Islami signed a long-delayed peace agreement in Kabul.
 
As part of its commitments, the Afghan government announced the establishment of eight commissions to oversee the implementation of the accord.
 
The groundbreaking peace deal came amid hopes it might curb security threats in the country and encourage other militant groups, including the Taliban, to enter similar talks with government.
