'Won't Bow To Taliban Proxy Or Its Backer': Afghan VP Saleh Lambasts Pak Army, Announces National Resistance Movement

Afghanistan Vice-President Amrullah Saleh on Thursday (29 July) said that President Ashraf Ghani had announced the Afghan security forces led National Resistance Movement (NRM) to strengthen the country's fight against the Taliban.

"Every Afghan village and community that have stood up against Taliban terror offensive have been and will be incorporated under the National Resistance Movement to be led by the ANDSF (Afghan National Defence and Security Force). It is already happening," the Afghan President was quoted as saying in a tweet by Saleh.

Ghani reportedly announced the NRM at the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board Meeting (JCBM) in the Afghan Presidential Palace.

In another tweet on Wednesday (28 July), Saleh also lambasted Pakistan Army and ISI for demanding billions of dollars from western countries under the garb of fixing the terrorism problem in Afghanistan.
