PESHAWAR, Dec 3: A prominent Afghan leader, Haji Mohammad Yaqub Sharafat, has welcomed the arrival of Hazrat Mujaddadi in Pakistan, media reports said.

He has said that his arrival in Pakistan at a time when Afghans are experiencing hard time is a good omen as he would be able to heal the wounds of oppressed Afghans.

In reply to a question he supported Haji Qadeer’s walk out from the Bonn conference and said that so far as due representation is not given to Pakhtoons in the coming setup it would complicate the situation and would end possibility of formation of any government in Afghanistan.

Mr Sharafat said that all Islamic groups must have representation in the new setup. He said that it is a wrong stand that Taliban should have no representation in the future setup.

He said that there inclusion in the government is a must due to the reason that they would continue to put any setup in trouble so far as they do not get representation in the setup.

He said that the Bonn conference is not a representative one as the prominent Afghans who had taken great part in jihad in Afghanistan are not present in it.

He said that it is strange that those who did not come to Afghanistan during the last 30 years are now participating in this conference. He said that when such people would form government it would then not be able to get recognition of all the nationalities of Afghanistan.—NNI
