The Hezb-e-Islami party led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar believes the Taliban group in Afghanistan has fueled the mass killings of the Muslims in Burma during the recent years.

AVA- In a statement released in the aftermath of the recent violence in the country, Hezb-e-Islami said the violence against Muslims in Burma has a old history but the massacre of Muslims was further fueled after the Taliban group detonated the Buddhas in Bamiyan.

The statement further added that the enemies of Muslims used the opportunity to spark tensions against the Burmese Muslims using the detonation of Bamiyan Buddhas as an opportunity, forcing the Burmese Buddhists to start movements against the Muslims for the revenge.

Hezb-e-Islami says hundreds of people have been massacred, thousands of houses have been burnt, and thousands of others have been forced to flee from their homes and country to seek refuge as a result of the violence.

The party also harshly criticized the Muslim leaders for remaining silent regarding the recent violence and slammed them from refraining to declare a stance against the killings of Muslims.

This comes as Hezb-e-Islami has adopted a hard stance against the Taliban group during the recent years and on numerous occasions has slammed the group for waging insurgency in the country, calling it a move orchestrated by the foreign supporters of the group in a bid to maintain the war and violence in the country.
