“From the initial days of the government till the recent, I have been witnessed of forge formation, isolation of organizations which are considered as the pillar system in the world and acts of favoritism towards government’s formation,” he added.
Rabani, who was mostly representing the chief executive, Abdullah Abdullah in the National Unity Government, has had dire relationship with President Ashraf Ghani. Also, Rabani has announced his support from Abdullah’s electoral team in the September 28th presidential polls.
