Mohammad Mohaqiq, who remained a political figure during the Karzai and Ghani eras, fighting against the Russians, then in the internal conflicts, and later during the fallen republic, is always part of the conflicts due to his tainted past and notorious character. He has been a tool for others and plays in favor of foreigners.
Mohammad Mohaqiq, the leader of the Unity Party, has close ties with Iran. These ties encompass not only ideological issues but also political and intelligence aspects.
Mohaqiq has played a significant role in supplying the Fatemiyoun proxy group for his personal interests; he respects and praises the sacrifices of this group, while the Fatemiyoun group has been fighting in the Middle East for the benefit of Iran under the support of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard since its inception.
As a result of Mohaqiq’s close ties with Iran, he is also managing the operations of other proxy groups; during his recent visit to Iran, he requested to not deport former officials and military personnel of the fallen republic among the refugees. Mohaqiq wants to use former military personnel in Balochistan, in coordination with the ISI, against the Baloch people and control their level of influence in the region.
Mohaqiq is a divisive and despised figure among the Afghan people, who has always played with Afghanistan’s fate for the benefit of foreign powers; he is accused of having good relations with the ISI and using this option to organize movements against Afghanistan, aiming to once again place Afghanistan under foreign influence.
Mohammad Mohaqiq is also a two-faced politician; during the fallen republic, although he accused the corrupt republic of corruption, he himself had formed a circle of corruption and was involved in corruption within the government through his group members. For example, in the month of Aqrab in 1395 (2016), five people were suspended from the Ministry of Interior, including a close associate of Mohaqiq, the Deputy for Logistics, Mortaza Rahimi.
He supports numerous corrupt individuals, aiming to secure his influence and position despite criticism of Ghani’s government, and under the guise of being an influential figure, he participates in all major decisions. On one hand, he has been criticizing the republic and Ghani for several years, and on the other hand, he desires the republic’s soldiers as proxy mercenaries and works to prevent their expulsion from Iran; such hypocritical behavior cannot be justified as loyalty to the former officials, soldiers, or the system as a whole.
