arms against the ISIS to control and throw it out; many steps have been taken with regard to al-Qaeda, it has no presence in Afghanistan and
is no more a threat and the world is required not to feel threatened about the already dead outfit some Western forces which are trying to
destabilize the country are being taken care of by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to control and contain these forces,& said Haqqani.We
have repeatedly said that the Treaty of Doha which was signed will be implemented in letter and spirit and our message to the world is that

provide security to diplomatic missions of foreign countries, including India.India&s concern about the presence of Jaish-e-Mohammed and
Lashkar-e-Taiba in Afghanistan is baseless, we want to have very close relations with India, such fear is baseless and undesirable,& said

will ensure the security of diplomatic missions and political officials of this country, and New Delhi can continue its construction
activities and complete unfinished projects with peace of mind.The post Islamic Emirate committed to fighting ISIS in Afghanistan: Haqqani
