He said entire nation should be readied to face the US and it should be made clear to Trump and the world at large that the situation in Afghanistan was worsening due to the presence of the US/ NATO forces there. He said no nation or country could be put on the right path through armed invasion as this would always lead to destruction. He said world community should press for the eviction of the external forces from Afghanistan. He told the rulers that instead of relying on the US, we should be careful about Trump’s designs.
