Taliban's policy to bar Afghan girls from attending school was made on Pakistan order: Former Afghanistan President

Kabul: Former Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has claimed that the Taliban’s policy to bar Afghan girls from attending school was made on Pakistan’s orders rather than in accordance with Islamic law.

According to Hamid Karzai, Pakistan ordered the ban on girls’ schools.

He stated that the Taliban cannot erase the people’s accomplishments over the previous two decades in an interview with the German magazine Spiegel as quoted by Afghanistan Times.

Karzai stated that denying girls the opportunity to attend school will result in an impoverished Afghanistan, isolated, and incapable of standing on its own feet.

Former President Karzai added that “the goal of Pakistan is a defenseless, weak and poor Afghanistan that does not pose any problem to Pakistan.”

He claimed some Taliban officials are in favour of opening schools.

Afghanistan is currently ruled by Taliban forces.

They captured power last year.
