Reacting to the rumors about the establishment of an interim government in Afghanistan as a result of a peace negotiation talks, lawmakers in Afghanistans parliament on Wednesday said that no political system will be acceptable for the Afghan people except a republic system.
However, some other members of the parliament said that the current system in Afghanistan cannot be taken as a democratic system in the view of the governments dictatorial approach, stating that President Ashraf Ghani acts like a sultan instead of a democratic president.
"If they have seen the dream of an interim government, this will remain only in their imagination," said MP Abdul Naseer Farahi.
"If someone wants to debate about the interim government or they want an interim government, they are committing an act of treason against the country," said MP Shapor Hassanzoi.
"The voice of an interim government can be heard from the tribune of the USs foreign policy," said Fazel Karim Aimaq, MP.
Some other members meanwhile accused Ghani of acting like a dictator.
They said that Ghani does not value democratic principles.
"The next principle of a democracy is the separation of the pillars of power, but Mr. Ghani has risen up like a sultan," said MP Habiburrahman Pedram.
"Defying the parliament--one of the pillars of the system itself--poses a serious threat to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan," said MP Abdul Qayoum Sajjadi.
This comes after Ghani last week in an interview with CNN said that he wants to transfer the power to his successor or in a legal and peaceful manner.
"If the objective of the Taliban is to dominate and give us the peace of the grave, that will have very negative consequences," Ghani said.
"My basic goal is to be able to hand power, through the will of the people, to my elected successor. This is crucial to enable us to honor the sacrifice of our civilians, our activists, and others," Ghani said. "One thing needs to be clear; the Afghan society is not willing to go back and were not a type of society that the Taliban-type approach of the past can be imposed on us. That was the peace of the graveyard. We want a positive peace where all of us together overcome our past, embrace each other and together rebuild an Afghanistan that can be what I call a roundabout (regional hub)."
Rumors about the interim government were also debated in a session of the Meshrano Jirga.
