DERA ISMAEL KHAN, Aug 14 (DNA): Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)
President and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur
Rehman said on Saturday that the Taliban by capturing 19, out of 34
provinces, and that too within a few days had determined the future of
Afghanistan.
In an interview with a private television channel over telephone from
Dera Ismael Khan, Maulana Fazl said the truth of the matter was that the
writ of the Afghan government led by President Ashraf Ghani was nowhere
to be seen. “A large political vacuum has been created in Afghanistan,
and only the Taliban have the capability to fill it,” he commented.
Fazl said while political reconciliation and the establishment of a
constitutional government in the war-torn country was important, but the
way things were shaping up in that country, a constitutional government
was presently nowhere in the picture. “Pragmatism demands that the
precedent set by Herat’s military commander Ismael Khan is followed and
all factions of Mujahideen get together to pull Afghanistan out of the
current crisis,” he asserted.
He urged the world to help the Afghan people get rid of the war brewing
on different fronts in their country rather than lecturing them on
democracy. “The situation demands that all world countries recognize the
Islamic Emirate expected to be established in Afghanistan soon and
further strengthen their relations with the landlocked country,” the
JUI-F chief emphasised. DNA
