IEA leader tells officials not to create gap between govt and people

Mawlavi Haibatullah Akhundzada, supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), on Saturday in his Eid speech, warned officials not to create a gap between the government and people.

“Governments have collapsed through the creation of gaps between people and government and I instruct IEA officials to stand with the people and not to create a gap between people and government. They should not repeat past experiences,” Akhundzada said in his speech at Eidgah mosque in southern Kandahar province.

Akhundzada highlighted the importance of the role of religious scholars in leading the country and said that the government and people should not ignore their national and religious duties.

He said that Afghanistan is the shared home of all Afghans and people should share their advice with the current rulers.

“Whether you are a doctor or a teacher, Afghanistan is the shared home of all. No citizen should feel detached from the state. You advise IEA in order to improve the current situation,” Akhundzada said.

He also said that security now prevails in Afghanistan and the way for enforcement of Sharia is paved.
