Amritsar, India (IBNS): India-based former Prime Minister of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai, on Thursday headed back to the Afghan capital of Kabul via Pakistan on medical grounds.

According to reports, the Indian government facilitated Ahmadzai's journey to his homeland and the country's Border Security Force (BSF) allowed the ambulance carrying the ex-Afghan president up to the Zero line at the Wagah-Attari border between India and Pakistan.

He was reportedly shifted to another ambulance at the border on the Pakistan side.

Ahmadzai's son, Musa Ahmadzai, confirmed that his father had left India via Wagha border and will reach Kabul via Pakistan, and they will use Torkham border crossing to cross over to Afghanistan.

Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai, a close associate of former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani in the post-communist Afghanistan, was in the Afghan government during the 1992-96 period in various capacities, and he was the acting Prime Minister in the Mujahid era, from 1995 till 1996, under the then President Rabbani's tenure.

Ahmadzai left Afghanistan after Taliban had taken over Kabul in 1996 and had been living in exile till the fall of Taliban in 2001 following the U.S. intervention.
