Several Afghan Senators on Sunday expressed concerns over growing insecurity across the country and accused the government of ignoring the security threats. They pointed out that the local security officials in the provinces submit fudged reports about the security situation in their area to the central security organizations. As a result, Kabul does not get to know about the reality and proper measures are not taken.
The Senators said that with every passing day the security situation is deteriorating in several provinces across the country. They blamed the Defense and Interior Ministries for their inability to take any stringent measures in this regard. Due to their failure, the Taliban has succeeded in taking control of several districts across the country.
"The security situation is getting worse every day. The security officials, who promised to provide better security by launching operations, have not fulfilled their promises. The Defense and Interior Ministries are not concerned about the security situation. As a result, the insurgents have intensified their terror activities across the country," said Senator Mahyuddin Monsef.
The worried Senators warned the government saying that if the security situation is not taken care of as quickly as possible, then the citizens will have to face several challenges, including threat to life ahead of the elections. The Senators added that insecurity will also result in widespread electoral frauds, a thing the country cannot afford at this point of time.
"The electoral process will have to face numerous hurdles, if the security situation deteriorates further. The security forces have to chalk out proper strategy to provide better security in the country," said Senator Lailima Ahmadi.
According to the Senators, Badakhshan, Ghazni and Logar are some of the most insecure provinces in the country, where the insurgents frequently launch attacks on the security forces. The Senators claimed that the above mentioned provinces are being ruled by the Taliban.
