Taliban disown attacks, torching of schools
Taliban on Wednesday disowned attacks and torching of schools in different provinces of war-ravaged Afghanistan and termed it the deeds of the enemies of entire Afghan nation.
It is sad that some people level allegations against Taliban for killing teachers, students and torching schools, said Dr. Muhammad Hanif while talking to Afghan Islamic Press from an undisclosed location on Wednesday.
Taliban are not involved in these attacks as they are themselves teachers, he said, adding that these were the schools that gave the lesson of freedom to children.
Asked whether Taliban believe that present schools in Afghanistan are not against the Islam, Dr. Hanif replied, “Why not, we know that literatures against Islam is taught openly in these schools but teachers of these schools are good people and they are also giving the lesson of freedom to student.”
Most of the teachers are in close contacts with Taliban and meet us because they are against the foreign invasion on Afghanistan, he disclosed.
Dr. Muhammad Hanif rejected the impression that Taliban have been attacking and setting ablaze schools in Afghanistan.
While terming it a baseless propaganda against Taliban, Dr. Hanif said, “Those launching attacks and torching schools are the enemies of Kabul administration as well as the entire Afghan nation.”
A number of schools were torched in several provinces of Afghanistan and Taliban were held responsible for these attacks but Taliban did not accepted responsibility of such incidents not even for a single time.
Meanwhile, situation is still tense in Pul-e-Charkhi Jail today (Wednesday) as there was no sign which shows that the standoff has been resolved completely after negotiations between representatives of rioting prisoners and officials of National Reconciliation Commission.
Meanwhile three big buses were seen entering the jail today (Wednesday) but journalist standing outside the jail could not find out that who were in these buses and why it entered the jail.
Prisoners of Pul-e-Charkhi Jail went on rampage and clashed with guards. The standoff continuing since late Saturday night which claimed atleast four lives and wounding over 30.
