Senators Call For Peaceful Settlement Of Ghani-Noor Rift

Some members of Meshrano Jirga, Upper House of Parliament, on Sunday said the tension between President Ashraf Ghani and Atta Mohammad Noor, the CEO of Jamiat-e-Islami Party and the ousted governor of Balkh, should be solved through dialogue.

“Atta Mohammad Noor’s issue is not a problem of an ordinary person or an employee (of government). He (Noor) visits 2,000 to 8,000 people every day,” Gulalai Akbari, a senator, said.

“The leaders of the national unity government must consider the interests of the nation when it comes to this matter,” Deputy Speaker of Meshrano Jirga Mohammad Alam Ezidyar said.

Meshrano Jirga Speaker Fazil Hadi Muslimyar meanwhile asked his colleagues not to support Atta Mohammad Noor.

“Atta Mohmmad Noor is an ordinary government employee… No one in the house should talk about taking side of someone,” said Muslimyar.

Last year in December 18, President Ghani removed Atta Mohammad Noor from his position as governor of Balkh. The president’s office said in a statement that Ghani has accepted Noor’s resignation as Balkh governor. Engineer Mohammad Dawood was appointed as new governor of Balkh by President Ghani.

The decision was rejected by Noor.

Atta Mohammad Noor at a gathering in Balkh on Sunday said the talks between Jamiat and government are ongoing. He said he awaits the results of the negotiations.
