The second deputy to the Executive Directorate Mohammad Mohaqiq reacted against the Taliban’s warning – attacking Hazarajat regions in Ghazni province – saying that “the attack can be a key to a destructive civil war in the country.
In addition, Mohammad Mohaqiq also reacted against the election commission’s decision to divide Ghazni into three electoral zones following tensions in the province.
“This issue indicates that the government’s double policy against a particular ethnicity,” Mohaqiq said. “Dividing Ghazni into three electoral zones is contrary to the electoral law and points out a discrimination among the Afghan ethnic brothers. It is an organized measure to fight the lawful presence of some ethnic groups in Wolesi Jirga”.
Mr Mohaqiq also questioned the independence of the election commission, saying: “on the other hand, ignoring the scheme of political parties, emphasis on the worn out SNTV system, implementing breach of laws and dual practices of the government, indicate that the government’s pressure on the election commission is very high which it has to act according to the government’s will”.
The second deputy to the executive directorate also referred to the insecurity status in Ghazni province.
“What makes the issue complicated, is the warning and preparation of Taliban to attack on Jaghori district and some other Hazarajat regions – which is a new issue in the past 18 years – as Taliban put aside the government and directly declare war on a particular ethnic group; while the group’s approach was different and their slogan was against the foreign forces and the government”.
Mr Mohaqiq called on the government to set aside double policies and if it is not in line with the thought of an attack on Hazara ethnicity, suppress the Taliban and prevent the elections commission’s decision dividing Ghazni province into three electoral zones.
