KABUL - Religious scholars who met Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah on Wednesday called for appointing religious scholars as advisors in security and other government organs.
A statement from the CEO office said Ulema committee of advisors for the CEO called on Abdullah at his office on Wednesday.
The committee shared its performance report and a plan to remove the distance between the government and religious scholars with the CEO.
The scholars stressed the government should work on removing misunderstandings of religious scholars about the government by appointing them as advisors in different organs, particularly in the security sector.
The statement said Abdullah called the Ulema as leaders of society and said the government was committed to resolving their problems and increasing coordination with them.
Abdullah said he would consider Ulema’s appointment as advisors to government organs and would take action to implement their plan. (Pajhwok)
