KABUL (PAN): In a surprise move, Gulbadin Hekmatyar, the leader of Hizb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA), the second largest militant group after the Taliban, has asked his supporters to participate in this year’s presidential and provincial council elections.
Dr. Ghairat Baheer, the HIA political wing in-charge, told Pajhwok Afghan News Hekmatyar had made the decision some time ago.
