Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said on Thursday that the United States (US) would not only have to withdraw from Afghanistan but also pay the damages of the war.
Addressing the JI central workshop at Mansoora, JI Ameer Senator Sirajul Haq said that a few years back, nobody was ready to shake hands with the Taliban and whoever attempted was labelled as a traitor. However, he said, now Washington was begging the Taliban for talks and several countries including Russia were requesting the Taliban to open their offices in their countries to be able to participate in the talks.
The JI chief further said that the US defeat in Afghanistan after Soviet Union made it clear that Afghanistan’s future was with Islam and this auspicious development would be greatly helpful in the enforcement of the Islamic system in this country.
