Lawmakers accused President Ghani for violation of the law and criticized its foreign policy saying it lacks the basic lines therefore he has faced the country with a lot of challenges.

Abdul Rauf Ebrahimi, the House Speaker said,” I am addressing to the President, he must send the basic lines of the country’s foreign policy to the National Assembly as soon as possible. The first obligation of the President is to safeguard the law. The law for acting-officials and the population registration act have been approved and issued now it is the responsibility of the President to execute these laws.”

“The basic lines of the country’s foreign policy must be decided by the people and Loya Jirga, currently two power-sharing leaders are setting our basic lines without any consultation,” Abdul Rahman Rahmani, a representative of the lower from northern Balkh province of Afghanistan said.

Another member of the House asked the United States to take a clear action in regards to Pakistan and terrorism.

“We’re asking the United States to have a clear policy, they should either join with Pakistan or eliminate terrorism from Afghanistan,” MP Shir Wali Wardak said.

At the same time, a number of lawmakers accuse the national unity government leaders for weakness and express their concern regarding the current political, social, economical and security situation of the country.

“Kunduz war disappointed the people from the National Unity Government; the government is weak and reckless, properties of the people were looted, foreigners are also cheating us they transfer both Taliban and governmental forces on their planes,” MP Abas Ibrahimzada said.

Saleh Mohammad Saleh an MP from Kunar province has also harshly criticized the President, said: “President Ghani, I’m calling on you, the people voted for you, the history will write against you”.

These statements come as the NUG has passed more than one year of its life without having basic lines of foreign policy.

Sanaullah Ghaffari, also known as Shahab al-Muhajar, is reportedly the ISIS-Khorasan (Daesh) branch leader and is holed up in Pakistan, Reuters reports.

The 29-year-old took over as leader in 2020 and under his leadership the group has carried out extreme attacks as a means of recruiting, Reuters reported.

Reuters noted that little was known about Ghafari before the deadly 2021 ISIS attack on Kabul Airport, which killed 170 Afghan civilians and 13 American soldiers.

But after Friday’s deadly attack in a concert hall in Moscow, which left 139 people dead, Ghaffari’s group has come under intense scrutiny.

Reuters reports that Ghaffari is said to have been involved in several attacks in Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

Pakistani officials said months ago that Ghaffari had been killed in Kunar province in Afghanistan in June last year, but Reuters has reported that he did not die and instead fled to Pakistan and lives in the border province of Baluchistan.

Abdul Matin Qani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan, says that Daesh has been suppressed in Afghanistan for more than two years and has lost its operational capacity.

The last attack carried out by Daesh in Afghanistan was the attack on the Kabul Bank office in Kandahar last week which left three dead and 12 wounded.

IPL: Sunrisers thump MI in record breaking match

(Last Updated On: March 28, 2024)

It was raining records at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday with the hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clinching a 31-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 8 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Sunrisers’ batting rewrote the record books on a batting belter after the posted 277 for three.

SRH now have the highest team score in the history of the IPL – beating Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) 263 for five from the 2013 season.

In reply, MI made a spirited effort, and at one stage, were contenders to do the near impossible. In the slog overs, the enormity of the target proved a bit too much, and SRH clinched victory, but not without numerous nervous moments.

To put into perspective the carnage we witnessed – Heinrich Klaasen’s 23-ball half-century was the slowest fifty of the SRH innings.

Travis Head, playing his first match for SRH, raced to the milestone in 18 balls. Abhishek Sharma got there even faster – in 16 balls – to record the quickest fifty by an SRH batter in IPL history.

While Sunrisers notched up the highest total in the 16-year history of the IPL, just as incredibly, Mumbai Indians almost paid them back with the same coin, their batters coming out with a nothing-to-lose attitude.

The sixes kept rolling off the Mumbai bats too, helping them keep up with the asking rate for most of the chase, eventually however, they ran out of steam and finished on 246 for 5, the highest IPL total in a losing cause.

As ESPNcricinfo reported, never were more runs scored in a men’s T20 match (523). Never were most sixes hit in a men’s T20 (38). At the end of the close to four-hour six-fest, only two bowlers returned with an economy rate of under ten an over.

Thursday, March 28 : Match 9

Thursday’s match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur sees Rajasthan Royals go up against Delhi Capitals.

Fans in Afghanistan can tune in to Ariana Television to watch the match live from 6.30pm. Alternatively the match can be screened live on arianatelevision.com
