KABUL – Second vice president Sarwar Danish said that Afghanistan will support rational plan for bringing in peace, but no plan should be discussed in the absence of the Afghan government or only on the demands of foreigners.
Speaking at the 26th anniversary of the martyrdom of Abdul Ali Mazari, the martyr of national unity, on Thursday in Kabul, Danish reiterated that the peace plan should be discussed within the framework of protecting the political system and maintaining the Constitution.
He added that the plan for the formation of an interim setup will be a backpedaling and means the collapse of the system, reiterating that if a plan leads to the collapse of the current system and elimination of the Constitution, it will not be acceptable.
Danish called on all political figures and parties to strengthen their support to the republic system and warned that the Taliban are asking all, formally or informally, to pledge allegiance to emirate system, and there is no indication if the Taliban have moderated their mindset.
He stressed that the Taliban are unlikely to be decisive for achieving peace and it will not emerge through the government’s one-sided efforts.
Danish stated that peace will not emerge through pleading and declaration of one-sided peace means nothing than submission, which will be void of honor and justice and will not last long. 
The vice president warned that Afghanistan should not change into the center of international terrorism, and it is the common responsibility of the nation and state as well as the international community not to let this happen.
For materialization of peace, he maintained that the Taliban, regional states and the international community have to guarantee that Afghanistan’s independence and integrity will be immune from terrorist attacks and proxy war.
According to Danish, the followers of Abdul Ali Mazari and all the Shia and Hazara in Afghanistan consider peace a dire need for the country and will never support prolongation of war and violence. However, they will never ever accept monopolization or marginalization, he emphasized. (Monitoring Desk)
