Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, speaker of the Iranian Parliament in a meeting with Serdar Berdimuhamedow, Turkmenistan’s president, on Wednesday in Tehran, called for a probe on terrorism and drugs in Afghanistan, emphasizing on the insecurity in the country.

Qalibaf said that these two issues are the most important subjects which require neighbouring countries’ cooperation in Afghanistan, as per Iranian media reports.

He also pointed out that the formation of an inclusive government with the participation of all Afghans is the solution to the problems in Afghanistan. Earlier, Qalibaf had also said that an inclusive government is needed for a stable Afghanistan.

Since Taliban’s takeover, Iranian officials have asked the Taliban to form an inclusive government and cited it as a precondition for recognizing the Taliban government.

However, what is interesting to note is that some of the returnees, Farooq Wardak, former minister of education, Sediq Chakari, former minister of Hajj and Amanullah Ghaleb, former head of Breshna company, like Noorzai, have been accused of administrative corruption and embezzlement of millions of dollars.

The Taliban Commission of Liaison and Repatriation of Afghan Personalities had been formed under the supervision of Sheikh Shahabuddin Delawar, the Taliban’s acting minister of mines and petroleum, to help Afghans return to their country.
