According to reports received by Voice of Hindukush, Nizamuddin Qaisari, a former ally of Abdul Rashid Dostum, has been declared the leader of the Junbish Party by some fugitive Afghans in Iran. Qaisari himself had previously announced that he is the leader of the Junbish Party.
The announcement of Qaisari as the leader of the Junbish Party indicates that, like Jamiat, the Junbish Party has also become divided into two factions; one led by Abdul Rashid Dostum and the other led by Qaisari. Although Dostum has not yet shown any reaction, Qaisari’s self-declaration as a self-appointed leader of the Junbish Party has exposed a major rift within the party.
This announcement has highlighted disputes over a so-called imaginary party that has not even been mentioned in the political arena or in online gatherings over the past four years. Although the party had long been associated with Abdul Rashid Dostum and enjoyed privileges under his leadership for several decades, Qaisari has now declared himself the party’s leader with the same ambition – seeking to secure personal benefits and gain membership in other fictitious political alliances.
