Jamiat-e-Islami chairman Salahuddin Rabbani on Friday said that achieving peace in Afghanistan within the current framework is not possible unless there is a meaningful participation of all parties involved in the ongoing conflict. 

Rabbani said that dealing with the issue as a project will push the peace process into a deadlock.

“Lack of an honest commitment for peace, dealing with this crucial process as a project and also lack of a national and inclusive framework will result into a deadlock, will waste the time and will create more mistrust,” said Rabbani at a public gathering in his hometown in the northern province of Badakhshan where he marked 9th anniversary of his father and former High Peace Council chief Burhanuddin Rabbani's assassination.  

Addressing the same event, former vice president and Jamiat's deputy Ahmad Zia Massoud said that neither the Afghan government nor the Taliban is interested in peace to be restored in the country.

Massoud said Jamiat-e-Islami as one of the biggest parties in the country has no delegate in the ongoing peace negotiations. 

“No ideological group is able to impose their ideas, ideology and plan on the Afghan nation or enforce their dominance on the Afghan people through force,” said Massoud.

Massoud and Rabbani also criticized what they see as monopoly of power and the intensification of a discriminatory and biased views in the government.

Former president Burhanuddin Rabbani and former head of the High Peace Council was assassinated in a suicide bombing at his residence in Kabul in 2011.
