Pakistan: Protest in Quetta against Taliban's decision to ban women's university education in Afghanistan

Quetta: Political activists and students demonstrated in the Pakistani city of Quetta  against the Taliban-led Afghan government’s decision to impose a ban on women’s university education.

The protesters, including women, carried placards and banners and cha­nted slogans as they marched on dif­ferent roads in the provincial capital, reports Dawn News.

The demonstration was carried out by workers and supporters of the National Democratic Party (NDP).

NDP Balochistan President Ahmed Jan Khan condemned the decision taken by the Taliban rulers of the neighbouring nation.

Even during the Afghan war, the education institutions were not closed for women and they were allowed to continue education, he was quoted as saying by Dawn News.

He said the Taliban government came to power in the name of Islam but is now “trying to distort the history of Afghanistan”.

Khan said the decision was “a gross violation of the basic rights of women” and it could not be accepted.

Islam was never against the education of women, he said.
