CCPPCA: Loya Jirga is Unconstitutional and Divisive (Video)

KABUL (PAN): The Cooperation Council of Political Parties and Coalitions of Afghanistan (CCPPCA) at a gathering on Sunday announced that the Jirga proposed by President Hamid Karzai to review the Afghan-U.S. Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) is unconstitutional. The CCPPCA added that the issue of the Jirga has created controversies and been a divisive force for Afghan politics.

The gathering was attended by several coalition political parties for them to discuss their ideas about the security transition and upcoming elections. President Karzai previously stated that he would continue to delay BSA talks with the U.S. until he could discuss the transition at the Jirga.
