Monitoring Desk

KABUL: The leader of Afghanistan Mahaz party Syed Hamid Gilani on Tuesday rejected the allegations against him suggesting that he is attempting to free the Haqqani network’s key leader Anas Haqqani.

Speaking to reporters he said the allegations against him regarding the attempts for the freedom of Anas Haqqani are baseless. Gilani further added that all those who have detained in connection to any crime must face trial and no one can be called a criminal until he is convicted by a court. He also refrained from further remarks regarding his recent claims suggesting that the Taliban leadership is based in Afghanistan. His earlier remarks sparked furor both the Afghan officials as well as the Afghan people with the ex-intelligence chief Nabil accusing him of having close links with the Haqqani network.
