KUALA LUMPUR – Amid the violence reported in Afghanistan following its takeover by the Taliban, a PAS leader has conveyed his congratulations to the Islamist insurgents.

Batu Buruk assemblyman Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi, the son of PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, passed along this message to Afghans and the “Taliban-led government”.

“Congratulations on your success in achieving ‘independence’ from the grip of ‘colonisation’ and ‘inhumane intrusion’.

“With this win, it is hoped that all stakeholders will work together and attain a consensus on peace in an effort to rebuild Afghanistan.

“This win and independence are achieved due to the work of its people to liberate their country that was ‘colonised’ for 20 years and almost destroyed.”

Khalil, who is also PAS’ international affairs and external relations committee chief, said this in a statement published by party mouthpiece Harakahdaily. – The Vibes, August 18, 2021
