Politicians Call For Fair Polls At Rabbani’s Death Anniversary

Senior government officials, politicians and former Jihadi leaders attended a ceremony on seventh death anniversary of Burhanuddin Rabbani, former president and former head of the High Peace Council, who was assassinated in a suicide bombing at his residence in Kabul on September 20, 2011. 

The speakers at the event talked on Rabbani’s life and ambitions for peace and prosperity in Afghanistan. They said that Rabbani played a key role in peaceful transition of power in the country after the topple of the Taliban regime in 2001.

The participants meanwhile talked on the country’s political and security situation as well as issues around elections. They insisted that Afghanistan needs unity, cooperation and harmony more than ever. 

Addressing the event, the Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah commended the public forces who took part in the safety of Ashura ceremonies in Kabul along with government forces on Thursday. 

He said it was a clear example of people’s cooperation in the country’s security. 

Abdullah said Rabbani played a key role in peaceful transition of power in Afghanistan and that he dedicated his life for peace in the country.

He pointed out to an agreement on use of biometric system in elections, saying that it is a key issue and that the election commission’s announcement in this regard will overcome the concerns by the people and political parties. 

He said the National Unity Government is committed to ensuring transparency in elections.

Salahuddin Rabbani, Acting Foreign Minister and head of Jamiat-e-Islami Party, said they stay firm on their demands for a change in the system, a change in election system and transparency in elections.

Second deputy chief of executive Mohammad Mohaqiq said it is good news that government has agreed on use of biometric system in elections, adding that if this happens, Afghanistan will have transparent polls.

Meanwhile, Head of Hizb-e-Islami Abdul Hadi Arghandiwal stressed the need for unity among Afghans and said he trusts in the new generation’s commitment and energy to build Afghanistan. 

Arghandiwal called on politicians to overcome rifts and “collectively” work for moving the country towards a better future.

Burhannudin Rabbani was the leader of Jamiat Islami Afghanistan and the head of the High Peace Council before his death. He took a strong stance against terrorism.
