No need to worry about post-2014 scenario, says Ghani

_{JALALABAD (PAN): Security Transition Commission chief Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai on Tuesday said the people should not worry about post-2014 situation as Afghan security forces were strong enough to protect the country’s sovereignty.}

_{Speaking at a conference at Nangarhar University in Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, Ahmadzai rejected as baseless concerns about post-2014 situation in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of most of foreign combat troops.}

_{He said political integration could help further improve the country’s prevailing situation. He stressed national forces should remain national and should not be used for personal interest.}

_{“Afghans should wisely decide about their politics in next 10 months and there is a great need for political unity,” he added.}

_{He said if political unity was achieved, the situation would become better, saying Afghan forces should remain united for the sake of their country’s defence beyond 2014.}

_{Ahmadzai advised losers should accept election results and should congratulate the winners instead of rejecting public mandate given to their opponents.}

_{He asked the Afghans not to be worried about post-2014 situation and fully participate in next year’s elections.}
