Mazari was an ethnic Hazara, and believed the solution to the divisiveness in Afghanistan was in federalism, where every ethnic group would have specific constitutional rights. In his speeches he repeated that his aim was to remove the discrimination against the Hazaras because of biased policies of the central government and will strive to create a situation in Afghanistan where Hazaras will be given access to justice and equality by the center. His followers call him Baba Mazari ( Our Father ).
