Question: What were the main reasons for your resignation?

Answer: I want to clear up two issues that I have discussed with the media. First, the president did not accept the evidence about the Taliban attack in which the Haqani network was involved.

We sincerely expressed apologies to the Afghan nation and President Karzai for our failure to maintain security during the Peace Jirga, and we accepted our failure, but we will not allow others to question our intentions.

I agree with that lady’s comments, in which she said that President Karzai must not destroy the determination of the majority of Afghan people by pleading to a small group of terrorists. We must hold a Jirga that will respond to the will of 97 percent of Afghans. We must not hold a Jirga in which the will of 97 percent of Afghans will be dealt away for a small group.

This is the point of my disagreement with the president and I am not keeping it secret. There are hundreds of other reasons for my disagreements with the president, which I do not want to talk about now. The second main reason for my disagreement with the president is that he ordered the remission of the Taliban under a decree. I cannot forgive the murderers of the martyred Dr. Abdullah , and I also cannot work in a government that forgives the Taliban.......
