New Delhi, Aug 21: Former Afghanistan president, Ashraf Ghani’s brother, Hashmat Ghani Ahmadzi has reportedly pledged support to the Taliban.
Reports say that Hashmat Ghani Ahmadzi had announced his support to the Taliban in the presence of Taliban leader Khalil-ur-Rehman and religious scholar Mufti Mahmood Zakir. Ahmadzi is the chief of the Grand Council of Kuchis.
Ghani had fled Afghanistan along with his family after the Taliban took over Kabul on Sunday. Ghani said in a video message that he left Kabul to avoid bloodshed. He also denied claims that he had left Afghanistan with cars full of cash.

Rumours say that I left with a lot of money. This is a lie and you can verify this with the UAE Customs. He also said that he did not even time to change his shows. As a head of state, there was an imminent threat to my life, Ghani also said.
