A top member of Jamiat-e-Islami party, Ismail Khan, has called on the international community to stop funding the Afghan government saying it has failed to fix the deteriorating situation in the country and other issues of national interest.

The statement comes just two days after acting foreign affairs minister Salahuddin Rabbani, who is also the leader of Jamiat-e-Islami party, said his party was calling for the swift dismissal of all heads of security institutions including President Ashraf Ghani's national security advisor Haneef Atmar following a string of deadly attacks in Kabul last week that left over a 150 people dead and hundreds others injured.

But tensions between the presidential palace and Jamiat have deepened after the presidential palace defied Jamiat's call for Atmar to step down.

Khan alleged that the National Unity Government (NUG) under Ghani and CEO Abdullah Abdullah has failed to find resolutions to the issues facing the nation and instead suggested an early poll to replace what he described an incompetent system.

He said that it would be better for the international community to support the Afghan people rather than support an incompetent government.

"I hope that the international community stops supporting this incompetent and weak government of national unity and instead supports the people of Afghanistan; it is appropriate that the international community supports the people of Afghanistan; this system has lost its credibility and it has lost the trust of the people, therefore it is better that the international community especially the U.S stands alongside the people," he said.

But Khan said the removal of officials from their posts will not change anything and instead suggested holding early elections in the country.

"I hope that we get rid of this situation either through elections or a Loya Jirga so that these uncertainties come to an end," added Khan.

He called on the government to swiftly act upon the demands tabled by Jamiat, warning that there would be fallout if government defies the party's recommendations and demands.
