Naqeebullah Jan, what you said is the same thing all of us are annoyed with. My basic programme is to bring peace and stability in Afghanistan. In this regard, the first thing is to bring unity in all security foundations of the country. The purpose is to ensure strong coordination between police and the military. We cannot achieve the goal unless there is complete solidarity. For this purpose, police should be brought into the mainstream and their purpose should only be to serve the people.

As commander of the security forces, my first job would be to read the security reports at least three times in a day.

Secondly, I want that at least 20,000 people must remain connected with the president's office via telephone to get reports from common people on a daily basis.

Thirdly, I shall root out corruption from police and other security organs so as to restore confidence of the people in them.

Fourthly, I shall ensure participation of the people in restoration of peace and security. I shall use the people in this regard, like those jihadi commanders not involved in crimes, religious scholars, tribal elders and social organisations. They should be used in villages and towns. The second step with me in this regard is the thousands of officers who are trained under the national budget and could be used in restoration of peace and security.

I want to make it clear that the incident which happened to your family should not be repeated with others.

Today, there is no coordination even in our own security forces. They know that translators have their part in this problem. In such a situation, what do I want to do?

The first thing is that the NATO command should have a meeting with me every two days to ensure coordination between all security forces in the country.

Secondly, I want to devise a legal framework for the presence of the international troops in the country.

Thirdly, I want to close the Bagram prison in the coming three years and ensure that the international troops would not have the right to imprison our countrymen.

Fourthly, I want a basic investment to be made on the basis of our national foundations and only in this way can we achieve the basic goals.

Fifth, I am forming a framework from three to seven years. The first step will be ceasefire and then restoration of peace. I shall soon tell the country about our progress in this regard.

Mr. Amanullah, you have used the right word by calling opponents of the government as our aggrieved brothers. In the first step, we should find out their grievances. Then we should work for the establishment of just and true administration to ensure justice for all our brothers and sisters. In this regard, our first step is ceasefire, but steps should be taken to ensure that the ceasefire would not be for a short term. The religion of Islam is in favour of forgiving people when they repent. My plan is that I shall take help from pure jihadi commanders, religious scholars and other people to develop mutual trust and resolve the problems. About the people who violated human rights, I must say that Islam does not forgive crimes against other persons. So justice must be done with both the accused and the aggrieved parties. As for the right of Allah, this also has its own philosophy and the government could forgive them to bring peace under the broad reconciliation strategy.

I want to bring basic changes in the primary and secondary education system and introduce such an educational system to meet the 21st century requirements of youth. Education should be given with the help of pictures and listening material from first to sixth and from sixth to ninth classes with the help of fully trained teachers. Mosques should also be used for imparting education, particularly in areas where girls have to go long distances to attend schools. I want to start a special radio channel for education to broadcast different courses at different times, and youths and disabled people who could not go to attend schools could have an education with the help of that. Reforms in educational system at the universities are part of my programme. I promise to introduce a distance learning system. I shall organise study timings at the universities for youth who reach there through tests, those who failed to get education because of war and being out of country as refugees and for those who were not provided the opportunities to reach the universities.

Yes, the majority of our youth are jobless. We have the right to have jobs and earn a livelihood for our families. Youth, women and the poor are the three main sections in our society, but they have been converted into a minority because of political and economic reasons. Creation of jobs for one million people is one step among my plans. I would implement the plan in six parts: agriculture, livestock, reconstruction, mining, communications and business. An effective mechanism has been devised in this regard. This has been explained in my new book. Anyone wants to understand the plan must read the book.

Over the past three decades, the rights of Afghan women allowed by Islam have been violated. Those rights have best place in the sacred religion of Islam and we must understand that Islam does not allow what is being done with our women. I want to take the following steps to improve the condition of women in the country. 1. All cases of violence against women should be registered and investigated by women police. I want to decide cases of all women within a year who are in jails and no one is asking for their rights. 2. Want to create employment for widows and other poor Afghan women. Among the one million jobs that I planned, 300,000 will be for women. 3. Want to ensure part in inheritance to women under sharia. Women should be given their part in everything as allowed by Islam. 4. Want to provide basic education facilities for women across the country. 5. Want to reduce the mortality rate among young mothers by introducing a special medical branch. 6. Increase quota for women in governmental offices.

I have concrete steps in mind about the administrative corruption. The first thing would be to ensure implementation of law regarding the president. In this connection, as a president, I would like all my works to be reviewed by an independent commission two times in a year. The same procedure should be applied to all the cabinet, governors, mayors and district chiefs. I want every government office to be audited three times in a year. The commission would give them a paper. If the government official proved successful, he would stay in his post. If weaknesses were found, he would be removed. And if found unsuccessful, they should be removed from jobs. I promise that on the first day of my government, assets of 3,000 officials of my government would be made public and the same process would continue after every six months. My plan includes accountability for myself and all government employees.

I have very pleasant memories about the water of the Kunar River and my plan is to generate 1,000 megawatts electricity from the country's water resources. Electricity can be generated without the question of scarcity of water in mind. Therefore, the water resources, which are joint with the neighbouring countries, could be used for electricity generation without any problem. In the first step, we should construct dams on Kunar, Kokcha, Panjshir and Amu rivers. We should reach an agreement regarding the construction of dams. We have special status under the international laws for being at the upper side of the water resources. But unfortunately, we did not seek to know about those rights and status. We need experienced advisers to help us in this regard to benefit the country from the huge water resources that we have. The 10-year project of the National Solidarity Programme is on my agenda. Every village of Afghanistan, having a wind mill or a waterfall, must generate its own electricity.

My foreign policy is based on two foundations. First: Ensure the safety of your own luggage instead of accusing your neighbour of being a thief. Eighty per cent of the problems in Khost are because of the government and 20 per cent because of the interference of the neighbours. Second: I want to ensure the neighbouring countries that Afghanistan's land would not be used against them. They did not have that trust as different games are played on Afghan land these days. By the same token, I want to start negotiations with Pakistan to ensure coordination and cooperation instead of misunderstanding. Afghanistan has three tiers under the international law: The first is our neighbours and I have a special strategy for each of them to ensure cooperation with them. The second is Islamic tier. We are an Islamic country but did not bank on our relations with the Muslim countries. I want to develop mutual relations with all the neighbouring countries, majority of who are Muslims. The third tier of our foreign policy is purely international. They include Europe, USA, Japan and Canada. These countries should form a well-organised framework and should work for lasting interest like national sovereignty, progress, national economy etc.

A president must have strategy and he must have farsightedness. Without strategy and farsightedness, a president will become entangled in routine problems and will lose the direction and strategy. A president must have determination, which is a must for implementation of a national strategy. He must be the president of all the people without any discrimination. He must apply poultice to the wounds of the whole nation. He must be steadfast. President is not a post for a man who is habitual to compromises. This is no strategy. In this way, the law should be given priority and implemented. We are at such a juncture now, that we need to overcome the crisis and take steps towards stability. And finally, the president must be a good administrator. He must have a technical understanding so that he must know what to do with the water resources and about the road construction and he should sign all agreements in this regard on the basis of complete understanding of the issue. Keeping in mind those qualities for a president, I believe I have all those on the basis of my previous 40 years of experience.
