Hekmatyar further added that the outsiders are seeking their interests by fueling insurgency in the country while using the Afghan nationals for the conflicts outside the country.
He said the value of the blood of the Afghan people is considered even less than the value of the oil.
This comes as certain Afghan politicians said last year that the Afghan nationals are forced to participate in the wars in Iraq and Syria mainly due to the poverty.
The politicians are saying that the Afghan nationals are migrating to Iran for work but instead some of them are deployed to Syria and Iraq under the pretext of holy war.
The Human Rights Watch had earlier said that Iran has deployed thousands of Afghan nationals to Syria to participate in the conflict.
In the meantime, Hekmatyar called for unity among the people, insisting that only national unity could help to bring peace and stability in the country when people in different parts of the country say no to violence.
He also added that his party will never seek incentives or share in the government but emphasized that they will continue with the national efforts for peace and reconciliation.
