Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the political deputy of the Prime Minister’s Office, addressed a public meeting in Panjshir, stating that the presence of American drones in Afghanistan’s airspace is due to the Islamic Emirate’s insufficient equipment to prevent them.
Kabul 24: He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate has not received any financial aid from Washington for the patrolling of American drones, and the claims of talks are merely rumors.
No Financial Aid from Washington
Mawlawi Abdul Kabir further elaborated that while money does come into Afghanistan, it does not come under the control of the Islamic Emirate. He emphasized that the Islamic Emirate appoints institutions and welcomes those that are trustworthy and perform well.
However, the drone operations are problematic because the Islamic Emirate and the people lack the necessary equipment. If they had the equipment, just as they are not on the ground, they would not be in the air either.
Advancing Domestic and Foreign Policies Based on Sharia Law
Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Noorullah Noori highlighted that the Islamic Emirate advances its domestic and foreign policies based on Sharia law and seeks good relations, movement, and trade with the world.
Urging Opposition Figures to Return
Mawlawi Abdul Kabir once again urged opposition figures to return to the country, pledging that they would be supported and backed.
Meeting Attended by Acting Ministers
Several acting ministers were present at the meeting, including Acting Minister of Vice and Virtue Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, Acting Minister of Industry and Commerce Nooruddin Azizi, and Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Noorullah Noori.
Panjshir’s Resistance and Standing
Mohammad Khalid Hanafi welcomed the resistance and standing of the Panjshir people against the Russian Soviet Union and emphasized that the jihad led by Ahmad Shah Massoud first started from the province of Panjshir. He recalled that when the Red Army invaded Afghanistan, the jihad began right from this Panjshir valley. Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud then went from here towards Nooristan and the situation got worse day by day.
Inclusiveness and Uniform Justice
The acting Minister of Vice and Virtue emphasized again the inclusiveness of the current government in Afghanistan. At the same time, a number of religious scholars at the meeting demanded uniform justice. Mohammad Yahya Anabi, a religious scholar in Panjshir, said that the unity of the Muslims and the people of Afghanistan comes with social justice. Social justice from the Pamir in Badakhshan to Panjwayi in Kandahar must be observed uniformly.
Investments in Mining Sector
Nooruddin Azizi, the acting minister of Industry and Commerce, announced that in recent days, approximately $6 billion dollars have been invested in the mining sector in the country and ten new factories have been established in several provinces.
