Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The war in Afghanistan has been going on for 40 years. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, when the Taliban regime was overthrown, India stepped up its interference to pursue his interests in Afghanistan. Since then, the Taliban's fighting gradually increased and the conflict has only worsened from year to year. Since 11 September 2001, many people have died as a result of the war.

There has been longstanding hostility between India and Pakistan. For 50 years, India has been using Afghan territory for his purposes against Pakistan. Of course, this leads to reactions from Pakistan. We have, as a result, been following the wrong policies for 50 years that have not only harmed us but have been exploited by India. It is estimated that more than 1 million people have been killed in the war in Afghanistan. What for? Why? Because we are so naive? Are our politicians naive or do they not understand politics? We no longer want to sacrifice ourselves. If India wants to pursue its feud with Pakistan, it should do so from its territory, not Afghanistan's.

We do not want India to interfere in our domestic and foreign policy due to their own interests. We want to determine our domestic and foreign policy ourselves. India should not act against Pakistan or any other country from Afghan territory. For the above reasons, we are in favor to close India  its missions in Herat, Kandahar, Mazari-Sharif, Jalalabad, and possibly in other cities within the next 3 weeks and recall their diplomats back to India. Only their embassy in Kabul should continue to operate.

Of course, we have our own issues with Pakistan which we can solve through dialogue and diplomacy.

We have not been forced by the Taliban, Pakistan, or any other side to express the above opinion. This is our own opinion.

Best regards

Hayattullah Maiwand
