A
senior Pakistani religious cleric and politician Maulana
Fazal-ur-Rehman has endorsed the Taliban extremism in Afghanistan,
calling the Taliban-led insurgency a legitimate war against the foreign
forces.
The remarks by Fazal-ur-Rehman were
followed after a meeting with President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani who
arrived in Pakistan on Friday on a two-day state visit.
The visit by President Ghani is
considered as a two-day fence-mending mission as the relations between
the two plummeted to new lows over the past couple of years due to
reignited border disputes, counter-terrorism differences and exchange of
allegations.
President Ghani is expected to hold
talks on a number of key issues, including regional security and Afghan
peace talks with the anti-government armed militant groups.
Fazal-ure-Rehman is the chief of Jamiat
Ulema-e-Islam party who was among the main supporters of the Taliban
group in Afghanistan.
Speaking during a gathering late in
December in 2013, Rehman admitted that he upported the ‘Taliban
struggle’ in Afghanistan but opposed to pick up arms in Pakistan.
