KABUL, Jan 05 (TNS): Afghanistan’s Hezb-e Islami party leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar on Thursday denied having anything to do with either of Daesh, Taliban or Al-Qaeda, claiming that the linking of his party workers with the trio is a “defamation campaign by some liars,”.

“It is just part of the defamation by some liars,” the former two-time Afghan prime minister was quoted as saying by a scribe in Kabul. “We don’t have any kind of political or party-based relations and will not think about it. We don’t have relations with the Taliban nor with Daesh or Al-Qaeda or any other party.”

Hekmatyar’s statement comes in the wake of an accusation leveled against him by the former head of National Directorate of Security, Amrullah Saleh, claiming a Hekmatyar-Daesh collusion.

The veteran warlord also suggested that Daesh militants from Iraq and Syria are using Irani routes to infiltrate into Afghanistan.

“If I say that Daesh comes from Iraq and Syria to Afghanistan through Iran, it will not be an exaggeration,” he said.

According to Tolo News, Hekmatyar also accused certain elements within the Afghan government of acting as saboteurs of the peace process with the Taliban.

“I can say it with strong belief and honesty that if the government had the capacity of attracting the Taliban, and there was no obstruction of their way, many of the Taliban would have joined the peace process,” said Hekmatyar.
