Massoud Criticizes Govt’s Anti-Terror Efforts

Ahmad Zia Massoud, deputy head of Jamiat-e-Islami party and former special envoy of President Ashraf Ghani for reforms and good governance, criticized government over what he called “lack of a strong will to eliminate insurgents”.

Addressing an event in Kapisa province, Massoud stressed the need for a strong will to ensure peace and stability in the country.

“Let’s realize this that whether they (government) do not want to fight the insurgents, or there is a secret contract between government, militants and Pakistan intelligence or it is the issue of election and they want Pakistanis and the Taliban to help them (in elections), or there are something else in secret that they (government) do not attack (militates),” said Massoud.

Meanwhile, he said government has not responded enough to Pakistan’s missile attacks on the Afghan soil.

“When a plane of another country comes in the country's air space or when they fire on our soil, then the national sovereignty comes under question. Why they cannot defend Afghanistan's national sovereignty? Because they are in a secret deal with the intelligence agencies of regional countries and insurgent groups,” he added.

Some residents of Kapisa meanwhile insisted on unity among the people, saying that all Afghans should stand together against militants.

“We call on the country’s influential figures or anyone who stands behind a tribune that they should speak for national unity and for unity of Kapisa residents,” a resident of Kapisa province said.

"At least 50 countries came to Afghanistan in the last 17 years. They should have had paid special attention on infrastructure projects," Mohammad Hussain Sanjary, Kapisa provincial council chairman said.

In response to Massoud’s remarks, Presidential Palace said if Massoud has any plan for taking the country out of the crisis, he should share it with government.

President Ghani’s spokesman Shahussain Murtazawi said there is nothing secret in the document that has been finalized between Kabul and Islamabad to enhance Afghanistan-Pakistan relations.
