RASC: Ramzan Bashardost, a member of the Afghanistan House of Representatives, said in an interview with a media that the Taliban group arrested him on Wednesday, July 19, while distributing aid to the needy people in Kabul province.
In addition, Mr. Bashardost says that they kept me for long hours in the 3rd Police District without any kind of investigation or conversation and then they released me.
Mr. Bashardost added that perhaps his arrest by the Taliban group was a kind of warning message about his activities.
This is while the majority of Ramazan Bashardost activities are currently related to the collection and distribution of aid among people.
Mr. Bashardost still says that I will continue to provide such help to the needy people and I will stick to my human duty.
Due to his serious opposition to administrative corruption and his harsh criticism of the former government officials, Ramzan Bashardost has become very popular among Afghanistani people and even members of the Taliban group.
While the behavior of the Taliban group with the officials and members of the previous government is unpredictable, many did not imagine that this group would arrest the Ramzan Bashardost and put him under some kind of psychological pressure.
Last Wednesday, when reports about the arrest of Ramzan Bashardoost were circulated, many wondered what the Taliban group’s problem with him was.
Ramzan Bashardost has not only been a member of the House of Representatives for several terms, but he was also the minister of planning in the first cabinet of Hamid Karzai, the former president and candidate for the presidential election of Afghanistan.
