Afghan politician flays U.S., Britain roles in Afghanistan
(Xinhua) -- A critic of President Hamid Karzai's government and leader of the political group the National Congress Party of Afghanistan Abdul Latif Padram has lashed out at roles of the United States and the United Kingdom in Afghanistan, an independent Afghan daily reported Saturday. Padram, according to Arman-e-Millie newspaper, said that the Washington's and London's wrong policies would further cause chaos in the post-Taliban nation. "The continued illegal stay of foreign forces and the criminal behavior of the U.S. and the UK troops would cause more crises in Afghanistan," Arman-e-Millie quoted the young and the outspoken politician as saying.
| Padram opposed the presence of the U.S. and the UK forces unless they get legitimacy and mandate from the UN and Afghan parliament. |
Padram opposed the presence of the U.S. and the UK forces unless they get legitimacy and mandate from the UN and Afghan parliament. Previously another opposition leader Abdul Hafiz Mansoor, who contested President Karzai in the October 2004 Presidential Election, had also called for the legalization of foreign forces presence in Afghanistan through Afghan parliament.
| If it wasn't for the foreign forces, there'd be no parliament to "legitimize" their presence. |
