President Ashraf Ghani's first VP General Abdul Rashid Dostum on Monday said that he had not been injured during a Taliban siege in Faryab, terming CEO Abdullah Abdullah's remarks inappropriate.
Presiding over a meeting of council of ministers on Monday, Abdullah said that Dostum had been slightly injured in a Taliban siege in Faryab. However Dostum's office hit out over the remark, saying it was in favor of the enemies.
"We pray for the recovery of the recent incidents including the incident that happened to first vice president and fortunately his injury is not concerning," said Abdullah.
Dostum said in response: "I feel very sorry that the chief executive says an inappropriate and unfit word that general Dostum has been injured."
"It is said that it has been a clown of the Taliban and spread propaganda about the safety of the general. I don't think that someone within the government should say such a foolish thing," said Enayatullah Farahmand, head of Dostum office.
