Abdullah reacts at Afghan MP’s remarks about Ahmadshah Massoud
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The chief executive of the national unity government Abdullah Abdullah
... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun...
reacted at the recent remarks of an Afghan MP regarding the national hero Ahmadshah Massoud as he insisted on unity among the people.

Speaking during a meeting of the council of ministers in Kabul, Abdullah said the national hero’s role has been internationally recognized, emphasizing that the nation should respect the sacrifices of all Afghans who have laid their lives for the sake of the country.

This comes as an Afghan MP in the Lower House of the Parliament, Wolesi Jirga, Obaidullah Barekzai, had earlier said that Ahmadshah Massoud is the hero only for Panjshir province.

Barekzai went on to claim that Massoud only fought to keep Panjshir province safe and has not fought in other parts of the country.

The chief executive of Jamaat-e-Islami
Ata Mohammad Noor on Sunday also condemned the recent remarks against Ahmad Massoud.

Speaking to his supporters in Balkh province, Noor said Massoud has fought against all invaders and against thousands of forces of Evil who had came from abroad to fight the Afghans.

On the other hand, the deputy speaker of the Upper House of the Parliament, Meshrano Jirga, Mohammad Alam Izadyar also reacted at the remarks of Mr. Izadyar regarding Massoud.

He specifically pointed towards the growing controversies about the new census law that sparked divisions among the different ethnic groups and said mentioning the name of the national hero in connection to such controversies is an unfortunate move against the nation.
