On May 28, two influential political leaders from Tajik and Hazara community at an event in Kabul warned of “severe consequences” against the Taliban if the group continues violence with the hope to win militarily, reports Tolo News. The leader of the one of the factions of Jamiat-e-Islami (JeI), Salahuddin Rabbani, said today’s generation of Afghanistan is more eager than their previous generation when it comes to defending the country and its values against hostilities. He said the people are ready to safeguard the country’s hard-won gains of the last two decades as their “red line.” Rabbani said the Taliban should not miscalculate that the foreign troops' withdrawal will help them to win militarily. He indirectly questioned President Ashraf Ghani’s policy towards Pakistan, saying that “wrong policies” by some people instead pushed Afghanistan towards isolation instead of isolating Islamabad in international stage. At the same event, Mohammad Mohaqiq, the leader of Hizb-e-Wahdat-e-Islami Afghanistan, a party representing Hazara ethnic group. Further, JeI leader Rabbani, indirectly referring to President Ashraf Ghani’s claims in the past that he had isolated Pakistan said, “Some elements claimed that they have isolated the country, and another has been isolated, but the reality is totally different from their perception. The unfortunate thing is that today Afghanistan has been isolated due to the wrong policies”.
