The leader of the Islamic Emirate met with the governor of Paktia and other provincial officials in Kandahar.
During the meeting, Sheikh Hibatullah Akhundzada emphasized that the time has come to implement Sharia in the country’s political, economic, and military sectors. He called on local officials to make serious efforts to enforce Islamic rulings, especially the law of “Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.”
The deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, Hamdullah Fitrat said: “The esteemed Amir al-Mu’minin instructed officials to strengthen the Islamic system, implement Sharia, enforce the law of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, and serve the people.”
The leader of the Islamic Emirate also stressed the importance of unity among the people and the prevention of divisions.
Fitrat further stated: “The Amir al-Mu’minin urged the people to cooperate with ministries, find solutions to public problems, and eliminate ethnic divisions.”
Political analyst Abdul Sadiq Hamidzoy said: “If the government wants the support of the people, the foremost need is for social justice, so that no one feels disappointed or alienated.”
This comes as the leader of the Islamic Emirate had previously, during Eid al-Fitr prayers in Kandahar, emphasized the importance of setting aside differences and said that an Islamic system can only succeed when there is unity and harmony among all citizens.
