Mohammad Halim Fada’i, former governor of Logar during the Republic era, responded to Pakistan’s overnight attacks by addressing the Taliban. He said: “You closed the doors of schools and universities or turned them into madrasas—so now go ahead and defend against Pakistan’s drone strikes with chants and talismans.”
Fada’i added: “You Taliban claimed to have defeated 48 countries with God’s help—so where is that divine support now when it comes to confronting a neighboring country?”
He concluded by saying that the Taliban only consider the oppression of their own people as divine victory and jihad.
