National Assembly considers security situation alarming

A number of national assembly members said that the government should announce emergency condition over the recent insecurities in the country.

Afghan senators are said to consider the current security situation of the country alarming and emphasized on announcing emergency condition by the government.

They noted that the security situation of the country is worse than what government announces.

Senators warned that if the government does not take a serious decision on suppressing the oppositions, Afghan people will upraise in support of the security forces.

According to them, there are the possibilities of repeating Badakhshan incident in other several parts of the country if the government does not end the political differences.

“The situation is very bad, announcing the emergency condition by president is the only solution,” deputy of commission on internal security and defense affairs of the senate, Muhammad Faisal Sami said.

Iqbal Kohestani, member of senate said, “If the government remains indifferent and the defense ministry remains silent, people will upraise against the oppositions in support of security forces.”

While the security situation of Afghanistan has deteriorated that the country still does not have a defense minister and differences are still between president and CEO on selecting a nominee for the post.

Second deputy of senate, Asef Sidiqi said, “We urge President and executive officer to soon introduce a trustable nominee to Parliament for a vote of confidence.”

This comes as the National Assembly even called for the resignation of president and CEO in relation to the recent incident of Badakhshan where dozens of Afghan soldiers were martyred.

Afghanistan Presidential Citadel have not reacted and commented regarding the issue so far.
