The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan deny Jalaluddin Haqqani’s meeting with American puppet Karzai

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan have termed a report about the meeting of veteran Mujahideen leader and former Emirate minister, Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani with American puppet President Karzai in Kabul an attempt by the enemy to create rift among the Emirate.

“This is rubbish. There is not even one per cent truth in these reports, which said Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani went to Kabul and held a meeting with President Karzai. Why he would go to Kabul to meet the US puppet at a time when we have an upper hand in the battlefield,” explained a senior Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan commander belonging to a faction led by Sirajuddin Haqqani, the elder son of Jalaluddin Haqqani.

He said the Emirate had a clear stance about the peace talks with Karzai. “We have made it clear several times that we would not sit for any dialogue until and unless foreign occupying forces are withdrawn from Afghanistan,” he stressed.

The Emirate commander said the Afghan government and their Western masters in the past had extended several offers to them to quit fighting and join the Karzai-led government.

“If we had any desire for power, we would have surrendered years ago and become a part of the ruling set-up in Afghanistan. The blood of our martyrs would not go waste and would one day bear fruit. The Mujahideen of today are different than those of yesteryears. Today, the Afghan people are standing behind us as we are fighting for the liberation of Afghanistan,” he said.

He said their “enemies” launched malicious propaganda whenever they suffered losses at Muajhideen's hands in the battlefield. Also, he felt that through such reports, their enemies wanted to create a rift among the Emirate leadership.

“We are a part of the Emirate and would never take any decision without taking the Emirate leadership into confidence,” the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan commander said.
