Hekmatyar s Hezb-i-Islami planning anti-govt protests in Kabul

(Last Updated On: March 4, 2021) Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s Hezb-i-Islami party is expected to hold anti-government demonstrations in Kabul on Friday, in protest over what they claim is government’s failure to fulfil its side of the peace agreement. Hekmatyar says the demonstrations will lead to the ousting of government leaders. “We will give a ten-day deadline at the end of the demonstrations on Friday. If our demands are not met, our demonstrations will continue in all the provinces of the country,” said Hekmatyar. “Then our demand will be something else. All our demands will turn to one; Resignation; resignation of the government,” he added.

The legislators accused the president, the national security adviser and the head of the Administrative Office of the President of conspiracy and said those illegally removed from jobs included, in the NDS, the brother of Hamida Ahmadzai, the husband of Robina Jalali, Lailuma Wali Hukmi’s husband, and others whose relatives voted against the budget.

The current fiscal year started on December 21, but so far, the budget for fiscal year 1400 has not been approved.   The financial and budget committee of the Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of parliament, said that, based on the budget plan, the government is removing 13,000 public servants, but it has increased the ordinary budget from which the salaries of government employees are paid.
