MAIMANA (SW) – The deputy head of Faryab Ulema Council has called for ban on girls and women singing in the public.
Ghulam Nabi Ghafori, head of the Faryab Ulema Council, has issued a religious decree calling for a ban on women and girls singing in public, including singing of anthem by students. Ghafoori has also called for separating university classes for male and female students.
In a reference to the anthem sung in public gatherings, the Faryab Ulema Council deputy charged the provincial administration for spreading infidelity in the society.
Meanwhile, Paikan Haidari, head of the directorate of education, has clarified no one has the right to deny the citizens their rights.
Zainul Abideen, head of the provincial civil society, has labelled this religious decree as a step towards ‘Talibanisation’ in the province. He charged the Faryab Uleme Council for intruding in government affairs and issuing decrees on its own.
