BALKH (SW): Atta Mohammad Noor, the CEO of the Jamiat-e-Islami Party, said that if the government insists on his dismissal from the position of Governor of Balkh province and uses force to impose the dismissal, they will “legitimately defend” their rights.
Atta Mohammad Noor, speaking at a public gathering on Tuesday in Balkh, said that he will resign if his previous agreement with the government is accepted and also demanded that the appointments of his successor in Balk and the chief of police should be according to his will.
