New statement from Qārī' Yusef Aḥmadī of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the False News Published by The Express Tribune"


The Pakistani newspaper ‘The Express Tribune’, citing unknown sources ands proofs, published a false report on Sunday which claimed that Amir ul Mumineen (Mullah Muhammad Umar Mujahid) H.A. has given guidance to the Pakistani Taliban and asked them to start talks with the government and turn their full attention to Afghanistan. This report was all out used as evidence by some western backed news agencies as evidence to spread their propaganda. After our extensive investigations, we found that this report has no truth to it. In accordance with the policy of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, we do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and neither has such guidance been given to anyone.
We strongly reject such claims and can confidently say that the esteemed Amir ul Mimineen has not sent a letter and neither has he seen face to face with anyone regarding this matter. It is hoped that news agencies will not publish unconfirmed news and reports which are not backed by any credible sources. They should prove that they are honestly working for the benefit of their countries, are observing all journalistic ethics and are not bias towards any side.
