Members
of National Assembly Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar were stopped at the
Islamabad Airport on 8 March 2020 when they have boarded the
airplane, they were told by the FIA officials that as their names are
including in the Exit Control List (ECL), they cannot leave the
country. Both of these members of the Pakhtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM)
were going to participate in the oath-taking ceremony of Ashraf Ghani
as President of Afghanistan. Both of them were arrested for attacking
Military Checkpost in South Waziristan. Both of these members of PTM
were also involved in anti-Pakistan propaganda and activities of PTM.
However, in May 2019, Peshawar Highcourt accepted their bail. When
they were stopped by the FIA officials, they created propaganda.
They both were well aware that their names are on the ECL, they
should have contacted the Interior Ministry before boarding the plane for
going abroad. They also knew that they will not be allowed to leave
the country and that was what they wanted so that they can further
their propaganda against Pakistani security agencies. The sacrifices
and struggle of Pakistan for the America-Afghanistan-Taliban peace
agreement, these both wanted to waste it on the beck and call of the
enemies of Pakistan. Afghan govt. also disclosed its future plans
about relations with Pakistan by inviting these two members of PTM in
spite of Prime Minister or President of Pakistan. Despite this on the
special permission of Prime Minister of Pakistan these two Afghan
agents were allowed to go to Afghanistan. They were received with the
special protocol by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) secret
agency of the Afghan National Army (ANA). They were taken into the Afghan
Army Helicopter to the Presidential complex. This raised questions in Afghanistan over the protocol given to them. Especially Tajik
leaders asked Pakistani officials that why these two agents of Ashraf
Ghani were allowed to visit Afghanistan. Moshin Dawa warmly thanked
Ashraf Ghani for delaying his oath-taking ceremony as they got late.
The second important aspect of the Ashraf Ghani’s oathtaking ceremony was the
bomb blasts somewhere near the venue due to which the stage of the
Afghan President was also jolted and sounds of firing were also
heard. The beauty of the drama was that on hearing the sounds of bomb
blasts and firing participants ran towards the building. Ashraf Ghani
and his guards did not show any signs of panic, he continued his
speech even during the bomb blasts. Ashraf Ghani and his security
guards showed fearlessness. In order to add more drama to the
ceremony Ashraf Ghani opened his waistcoat like coat showing his
chest that how brave he is, he is not wearing any bulletproof
jacket. Everyone, that in such cases security guards take the VIPs
into their security and shift them to safe places. Afghanistan has a
long history of such attacks and loss of lives and destruction.
Moreover,
until now the place where firing and bomb blasts took place have not
been disclosed on the media, however, ISIS accepted the
responsibility for the attack, an attack in which neither any
casualties nor destruction of any building has been reported.
This
is the same ISIS that has attacked 25th death anniversary of
Hizb-e-Wahdat’s Leader Abul Ali on 05 March 2020 killing 32 people
and injuring more than 80. Taliban at once condemned the attack and
said that they are involved in this attack. Afterward, when ISIS
accepted the responsibility of the attack, few analysts said that the
target of ISIS was Abdullah Abdullah's leader of Northern Alliance.
After three days, Abdullah Abdullah held a separate oathtaking
ceremony and took oath as the President of Afghanistan. Zalmay Khalil
Zad did his best that Abdullah Abdullah accepts to take oath as Chief
Executive having equal powers of President and both take oath in the
same ceremony. The views expressed by Abdullah Abdullah about Ashraf
Ghani to Zalmay Khalil Zad has been reported by the Afghan Media.
According to Afghan media supporters of Abdullah Abdullah Ashraf
Ghani is behind the attack on 06 March 2020 on the death anniversary.
If this is true then only NDS and RAW can exploit ISIS for the
attack. No doubt the attack over Abdullah Abdullah was too fierce. Perhaps that is why Abdullah Abdullah decided to take over as
the President.
In 2014, there was a similar situation when Abdullah
Abdullah rejected to accept Hamid Karzai as President of Afghanistan.
He was stubborn that he should be given power as the President. At
this time US Secretary of State reached Kabul and controlled the
situation. A new designation of Chief Executive was included in the
Afghan govt. to accommodate Abdullah Abdullah. In the current
scenario, not only Afghan establishment but the public is worried as well
that who is the leader of the country. Those areas of Northern
Afghanistan that has the majority of supporters of Northern Alliance,
there Abdullah Abdullah, has started giving orders including the appointment of governors of three provinces of Afghanistan.
Al-Jazeera TV’s report shows that the public have linked their hopes
with the Taliban and they are watching towards the Taliban for their future.
Taliban, who have defeated World’s Super Power USA in the 19 years
long war forcing Americans to sign a deal with the Taliban. According to
this report, the Afghan Public considers that Ashraf Ghani will have to
leave the office. If this is so than protocol for Mohsin Dawar and
Ali Wazir and special invitation of Ashraf Ghani is not without any
reason. In such a situation keeping an eye over the PTM and its
anti-country activities is the need of the hour…
