Terming the excess and crimes committed by Jehadi groups who entered Kabul on April 28 worst and more heinous than Soviet lackeys who assumed power on the 27th of same month in 1997, RAWA's spokesperson Saima Karim asked world community not to feed Ahmad Shah Masood as he is the last remnant of Jehadi criminals. Addressing a press conference here on Friday she said "we ask the European countries to refrain from repeating the mistake earlier committed by United State regarding the nurturing of Gulabaddin by helping and overrating Ahmad Shah Masood". RAWA spokesperson said that participation of Masood in the European Parliament and his claims about democracy and women's rights will never wipe the scar of horrible crimes, which his sinister gang committed against our people. Terming Ahmad Shah Masood as "leopard in the guise of a generous men" she said, it just shows his trickery and hypocrisy. Holding both the Taliban and Jihadi groups responsible for the miseries and plight of Afghan women and destruction of the country Saima Karim called upon the western countries to consider both as the criminal camps. The countries those were busy in interfering in Afghanistan never realized and bother about the fate of and effects of their interference in Afghanistan. She urged world community especially United Nations to impose sanctions on countries involved in supply of arms and other assistance to the warring factions of Afghanistan. Criticizing United Nations role to cope with refugee problem she said "UN never fulfill its obligation toward the sufferings of our people languishing in Jalozai and other camps just by visiting and giving some pretentious tents". Saima Karim came heavily down on fundamentalist groups and termed fundamentalism a cancer that caused intense suffering to the women of Afghanistan. She made a passionate appeal to world community to check this menace which posses a threat to humanity. Remarking about the Afghans love to democracy she said "the people of the world should know that Afghans are not from other planet and they, too, like other nations of the world aspiring for democracy and freedom" the RAWA spokesperson demanded the trial of Taliban and Jehadi groups in international court of Justice (ICJ). Replaying to a question about their activities she said we have underground activities. As we could not expose our self due to security reasons "With very limited resources we are giving assistance to as many widows and orphans as we can." END |
