Mullah Omar can run for president in Afghan elections: Karzai

on Friday, April 26, 2013

When Karzai was interviewed in the presidential palace in Kabul in Afghanistan, he mentioned that Mullah Omar has all the potential to become the president of the country. He also alleged that he is fit for the presidential post which enhanced his hopes of winning the position this year. With the statement of Karzai, the mindset of the Afghans ischanging as they are thinking of voting for him, for this superior and responsible post.

The constitution of Afghans is valid for them and at the same time Talibans can take the advantage form this in casting their vote in the elections. Karzai also revealed this fact in the interview.

Mullah Muhammad Omar, the supreme and powerful commander in Afghanistan holds equal importance among Talibans. It is reported that Omar is responsible for $10 million bonus from the US. Being a strong and robust talismatic figure for all the rebels in the last 10 years war against foreigners and the Afghan troops.

Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan wants Mr. Omar to contest for the next elections. It is noted that Omar has been missing for many days while he was interviewed for the German daily newspaper. He wants the people of the Taliban lay down the arms and ammunition and involve in the elections deeply. Karzai took all the pain in travelling to Qatar to discuss this matter. Recently, the Afghan government permitted the Talibans to start their office in Qatar with a condition to cease terrorism, and any association with al Qaeda has to be broken.

While discussing this issue, the president mentioned that the problem to fight against terrorism lies with Pakistan and the real problem has not been discussed yet. Coming to elections for the year 2014, he mentioned that these elections will be the turning point in the history of Afghanistan which will try to infiltrate the troops from entering the country.

As the term of the president is coming to an end, he is not eligible to contest in the elections according to the rules and regulations of the constitution. Mr. Karzai also complained that his country and the government have been disliked by the countries in the West. He mentioned that he wants to improve the relationship and will strive forwards for it. Further, he added that his country should not be considered as mere objects and people should treat them with respect as allies.

Karzai also visited few other places including the Gulf Arab. The US ally conciliated the fights and conflicts in the countries with Muslim populations and in Arab. This was followed by a discussion to come into an agreement to settle all the issues related to Afghanistan, Talibans, Pakistan and the United States.

All these efforts will certainly improve the current status of the country and the future prospects looks good as Mr. Omar is likely to win the elections.
