The late Pajhvak's plan on Durand line

By: Dr. Najibullah Phil.M.A

After coming to power, Sardar Mohammad Davood Khan as the head of state, defense minister and foreign minister, in his government policy, he promised to solve the Pashtun issue to the Afghan nation. In the same year, he directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which called for the opinion and comments of Mr. Pazhvak, an experienced and expert person skilled in foreign policy and diplomacy. At that time, Mr. Pazhwak is performing his duty as the Afghan Ambassador in New Delhi.

Their suggestions are as follows:

1- The Afghan government should prepare a declaration to issue to international institutions such as the United Nations. That the Afghan nation is a divided nation. The Afghan nation and people are never and at any cost willing to give up their right. But due to the current political and economic situation, we do not want to take any action. Any action in the current situation will lead to war not only between the two countries but also the region and destruction of world peace.

2 - The government must include in the new constitution in the forefront of the constitution, that our nation is a divided nation. The Afghan nation and people do not forgive this right. Action will be taken in a timely and peaceful manner when the political and economic conditions allow.

Many of the countries whose nations are divided like Germany in 1949, are mentioned in the preface of the constitution, North Korea and China are mentioned in the constitution of Taiwan.

The goal was from this plan to Afghanistan

They have a meaningful and objective policy on Durand Line.

Afghan's views on this issue.

Afghan leaders in the past did talk about the right of self-determination and sometimes about annexation with Afghanistan. They don't comment on Paluchestan either. That region will become one with Afghanistan or what? There is still no opinion about the lost lands between Dawood Khan and Shah Mahmoud Khan. In 22 February 1974, the Organization of the Heads of Islamic Countries was circulated in Lahore, Pakistan. Dawood Khan refuses to attend the conference with Pakistan due to fault of events. And the deceased Pezhvak is appointed as a great representative. But unfortunately, the Algerian president was the head of the conference at the demand of the government of Pakistan to prevent the mockery of Mr. Pejhvak. Bomideen, sadly, asked the Afghan representative to arrange a phone meeting with Davood Khan. Later, with the mediation of Islamic countries, relations between the two countries improved, the plan which was based on a good policy on the hypothesis issue was not implemented.
