Mohammad Yaqoob to opponents: Useless efforts will end up harming you
Acting Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid has warned the opponents of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) that their efforts against IEA will end up harming themselves.
Mujahid made the remarks during a ceremony in which 897 commandos graduated from a six-month training course.
He once again asked the opposition to return to the country and not feel threatened.
“Those who go here and there in groups to disrupt security and create chaos in the country, have parties and say nonsense, our message to them is that the honorable leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has announced amnesty. The arms of all our security and defense forces are open to you. They will not be a threat for you, but they will try to ensure your safety,” Mujahid said.
He added: "These efforts, useless propaganda and ineffective statements will not benefit you, but will end up harming you. Just like you were tested by people in the past and failed, you show your evil will to people and people will be hating you even more. You will not achieve anything else.”
In the ceremony, the administrative deputy of the prime minister, Abdulsalam Hanafi, also spoke and warned against disrupting security in the country.
“Any internal and external enemies who look at the Islamic system and the national sovereignty of Afghanistan with evil intention, God willing, we will suppress them with our full strength. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has more than 400,000 security forces, and it has commandos and special forces like you,” he said.
Hanafi asked the security forces to treat every Afghan citizen well.
Afghanistan’s de facto consulate in Mumbai started issuing Afghan passports on Monday, the Islamic Emirate’s representative in Delhi said in a post on X.
The unofficial consulate said passports will be issued by them “to meet the needs of Afghan citizens.”
This announcement comes amid reports by various Indian news outlets that Delhi is considering accepting an Islamic Emirate representative, named Ikramuddin Kamil, as official envoy to Mumbai.
According to reports, Kamil recently arrived in India on a regular passport and not a diplomatic one.
The Afghan ministry of foreign affairs meanwhile said that the decision to issue passports to Afghans in India comes on the back of a decree issued by the Islamic Emirate’s Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.
According to the ministry, it has directed the Mumbai office “to handle the process of distribution of passports to meet the needs of Afghan refugees, students and businessmen.”
