Ismail Khan Slams Govt Policy, Calls for Military Supremacy
[TOLONEWS] Mohammad Ismail Khan, a prominent member of Jamaat-e-Islami

The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...

insurgency, saying the Taliban never denounced violence in the country.

"I shall categorically say that the Afghan government is moving in the wrong way against the Taliban and committing a big mistake when it comes to the issue of the grinding of the peace processor. The Taliban never abandoned the war and they never stopped violence. This is the Afghan government that sometimes comes on the offensive mode," said Mohammad Ismail Khan, the ex-mujahideen leader.

Referring to the proposed plan for the formation of the government's peace delegation, Khan said that this will not lead to a breakthrough in the grinding of the peace processor with the Taliban.

"The Afghan government should rather think about its military supremacy and then force the Taliban to endorse a grinding of the peace processor--we also have to show the neighboring countries that the Afghan government has the power to take control of the war," added Khan.

"It is not the war of the Taliban, it is the war of intelligence agencies in the region. The Taliban are not abiding by the peace agreement," said Abdu Sattar Hussaini, a member of parliament.

Nevertheless, a number of political commentators in Herat

is also one of the factors that has led to a surge in the Taliban attacks.

"The lack of a unified position on peace and the continuation of the political differences over the power-sharing issues has also led to some kind of disappointment among the international community and the strategic partners of Afghanistan, this has also given more power to the enemies of Afghanistan," said political commentator Abdul Qader Kamel.

"There is a need to prevent it (end the stalemate), because it has a significant impact on the morale of the security forces and could lead to further bloodshed," said political analyst Abdul Ghani Khesrawi.
