ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chief Senator Sirajul Haq has urged the Afghan groups to engage in dialogue process for the establishment of peace in the country.

He said this on the occasion of a reception arranged by JI for veteran Afghan politician and head of Hezb-e-Islami Engineer Gulbaddin Hekmatyar, here on Wednesday.

Both the leaders, on the occasion, discussed matters related to mutual interest, Afghan peace process and relations between the two countries.

The JI chief said that a peaceful Afghanistan was indispensable for peace of the region.

“Pakistan and Afghanistan are two bodies with one soul,” said Senator Siraj, adding conspiracies to create differences between the two countries would never succeed.

Lauding the unmatched struggle of the Afghan people in defeating the two superpowers of the world, the JI chief attributed the victory of Afghans against foreign powers to the victory of entire Muslim Ummah.

Undoubtedly, he said, Engineer Hekmatyar was one the great heroes of the decades long wars against NATO forces and former Soviet Union.

He urged the Afghan groups to engage in dialogue process for the establishment of peace in the country.

He said a peaceful Afghanistan was indispensable for peace in the region.

Hezb-e-Islami leader, who is on a three-day visit to Pakistan, said the Pakistani nation had always extended unmatched hospitality to their Afghan brethren for decades, due to which the geographical barriers between the two countries had been removed.

He said that the America’s exit from Afghanistan soil was written on the wall.
