History and Biodata |
1. First Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Afghanistan CEO:
Potentially more serious is Muhammad Khan’s record in Peshawar. (1981-1992) When asked about his work in intelligence there, he said, “Our job was [firstly] to foil plots against Hezb-e Islami and the other was to identify infiltrators from KhAD [Afghan state intelligence] inside the [fighting] fronts.” He also said they were responsible for “ensuring the security of all Hezb-e Islami officers in Pakistan and relations with the [Afghan] army, police and intelligence [understood as encouraging defection and gathering intelligence].”
Later, for a second time, he was in charge of refugees. With the victory of the mujahedin in 1371, he was engaged as a member of the commission of the finance minister with Muhammad Karim Khalili.
With the success of the Taleban, Muhammad Khan became marginal in political activism, but after the defeat of the Taleban in 2001, he was voted in as an MP for Ghazni in the parliament.
In the first parliament (2005), he was in charge of the communication commission. In the second parliament (2010), he stood as a candidate for Kabul but was not able to garner [enough] votes. In the past years, his family has had hostile relations with the Taleban and his brother, Naqibullah, along with several other members of his family were killed by the Taleban. About a year ago, Muhammad Khan’s young daughter was the target of some stray bullets and was killed.
Speaking at an event in Kabul, Engineer Muhammad Khan criticized the delay of the formation of a Cabinett and urged both the president and the CEO to name their picks soon.(20141228) |
