Geneva (Switzerland), Mar 07 (ANI): Sediqullah Rahi, brother of former President of Afghanistan, Dr Najibullah, said that Pakistan is backing the Taliban to topple the elected government in Kabul. Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of 43rd session of UN Human Rights in Geneva, Sediqullah said the recent Afghan peace deal between the U.S. and the Taliban is against the will of the people in Afghanistan. “Who supported the Taliban since the day they came to Afghanistan, into political environment or political life of Afghan people? They are the military militia of the ISI, intelligence agency of Pakistan, and they supported them and that’s why, indirectly, if I said they are representing the Pakistani military, already the peace treaty which they signed with the United States, I am not believing them, I am not agree with and nobody in Afghanistan, the people of Afghanistan they are very upset with this deal and intellectual element in my country, in my society they are totally against the Taliban”, said Sediqullah, who now lives in the United States. He added, “Taliban is fanatic group in Afghanistan, religious fanatic and people of Afghanistan doesn’t want them and they are not agree with them Afghanistan people want a sacred country. Afghan society is Islamic society but unfortunately Pakistan wants to rule them under this banner and very good group for Pakistan to represent them in Afghanistan in their interest is Taliban”. On February 29, the United States and the Taliban signed a deal in Doha to end the nearly two-decade old conflict in Afghanistan that began after the Sept 11 attacks. The agreement lays out a timetable for the final withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan.
