According to a report by Pajhwok, Taliban’s information affairs in-charge for central Ghazni province has banned music and work of female employees in local radio stations.

Maulvi Habibullah Mujahid said all radios should disseminate transmission in line with Sharia Law.

“Work of women employees and music is banned in local radios onward from today,” he said.

He said Afghanistan is an Islamic country and its people don’t want music therefore it should be banned.

He said radios could highlight public issues and could criticise the Taliban but they could not violate the law.

At the moment nine local radios, two Shariat radios and one private television are active in Ghazni.
