However, a delegation of the Gulbadin Hekmatyar-led Hezb-i-Islami has been in Kabul holding peace talks with the government.

Expressing concern over recent insecurity in the country’s north, Muslimyar said it was government’s responsibility to send more security forces to areas under threat from insurgents.

He asked security forces to make peace with those who wanted peace in Afghanistan and defeat those hell-bent on fighting for the interest of outsiders.

Senator Nadar Baloch said the Afghan security forces needed unwavering political support and the support of government leaders and ordinary people.
