Kabul: Interior Minister Noorulhaq Olomi on Wednesday said there were lots of efforts by some elements to cancel the military operation in parts of Pul-e-Khumri city in northern Baghlan province, but the security forces made the operation happen based on the suggestions of the people.
“There were efforts by some circles to stop the Baghlan operation, but the security forces started the operation after they were requested by the people,” the minister said at a graduation ceremony of 327 police officers.
“It is the duty of the Afghan security and defense forces to eliminate insurgents if they avoid accepting Afghanistan’s Constitution,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry administrative deputy Ikramuddin Yawar said the policemen were trained in technical and other issues that will help them carry on their duties in an effective way.
“You have a new responsibility for the upcoming war season because you will get new equipment in the near future,” he said.
The graduates meanwhile said they are ready to serve in every part of the country.
“We will use our skills in maintaining law and order in the country,” said Ahmad Fayeq, a graduated police officer.
The police officers graduated at a time that militants in some parts of the country are reportedly preparing for the next war season.http://www.tolonews.com/en/afghanistan/23493-olomi-speaks-out-about-delay-in-baghlan-operation
