2023-03-04
[TOLONEWS] The supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, met with the heads of the interior, foreign, and defense ministries as well as religious holy mans and officials of several provinces, and discussed the activities of the government departments as well as next year’s budget," a front man said.

The Islamic Emirate’s front man, Zabihullah Mujahid, said that Mawlawi Hibatullah met with acting Minister of Defense Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid; acting Minister of Interior, Sirajuddin Haqqani
...son of Pashtun warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, still titular head of the Haqqani Network....
; the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and the acting Minister of Technology Information and Telecommunication.

According to Mujahid, the meeting was also attended by holy mans from Kabul, Khost, Nangarhar

and other provinces.

"The Emir (leader) always calls on his ministers and is monitoring them and giving them essential advice," he said.

"The religious holy mans have responsibilities regarding the nation and people. The holy mans should convey the problems in front of the people to the leader," said Abdul Qadir Qanat, a religious holy man.

But what is the real message behind the meeting of the Islamic Emirate’s supreme leader with the acting ministers?

"Security measures--because of the ISIS and Resistance® Front issue and as well as the issue of female schools and universities--might have been discussed," said Aziz Maarij, a political analyst.

"These ministers have gone to visit the leader on behalf of the cabinet," said Faizullah Jalili, a political analyst.

After back-to-back edicts of the Islamic Emirate’s leader, a council of religious holy mans from 19 provinces has been formed in order for holy mans to provide consultation to local officials.
