KABUL - Afghanistan's National Coalition party Thursday accused President Hamid Karzai of demagoguery risking the good of the country with his thoughtless speeches against the US.

National Coalition leader Abdullah Abdullah said in the opening ceremony of Shaheed Abdul Ali Mazari's Cultural and Social Foundation that Karzai is apathetic towards the good of the people and that he will take the government down.

"The leadership has lost its way. This leadership thinks only of its future and the future of its favorite small group," he said.

"In my view, the Taliban aims to collapse the government but damage of the government by this leadership is an equal disaster ," Abdullah said.

MP Abdul Zahir Qadir said the country's political leadership is asleep.

"The people were awake in the past, they are awake today, and in the future. The political leaders are sleeping. The leaders should be awake," he said at the ceremony.

Abdullah said a transparent election was essential to the country's future, but suggested that Karzai does not want to ensure this.

"We don't like that a person comes from abroad and replaces the president, this not people's wish. To end the problem it is important to hold a fair, transparent election but the president doesn’t want the election," he said.

Karzai has in the past week made strong statements against the presence of the United States in Afghanistan, accusing them of secretly talking with the Taliban and wanting to benefit from Afghanistan's mines. (Tolo News)
