The slogan of independent Pashtunistan and the majority of Pashtuns on the other side of the Durand Line are considered to be the result of his thinking.

Is it the people of Afghanistan who are paying the price for the policies of that time or Pakistan? Pakistan has become more powerful day by day and Afghanistan with the clumsy policies of its leaders; Today, it is considered one of the most insecure, poor and backward countries in the world. Whose responsibility is this? People or rulers who could not follow the policy of development and progress. And the people of Afghanistan did not see it in the same way.
