Women should just give birth to children; they cannot be Ministers : Repulsive view of Taliban

Editorial Comments

  • Why women’s organisations, human rights commissions, etc. in India do not speak against the Taliban or do they think that the Taliban are doing the right thing ?
  • In Hindu Dharma, women are given the status of Goddesses, but in the Sharia of the Taliban, women are considered objects and machines for giving birth to children !
  • Ironically, none of the so-called intellectuals, secularists, as well as Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti utter a word of protest in this regard !

Kabul (Afghanistan) – In an interview to Tolo News, a Taliban Spokesperson said that a woman cannot become a Minister. Making a woman a Minister is like giving a person an overwhelming responsibility. He further stated, “Women should restrict themselves to giving birth only. Women don’t need to be in the cabinet, and the current women protesters do not represent all women in Afghanistan”. Earlier, the Taliban had promised equal rights to women.

Protests against the Taliban Government have been raging in Kabul and other cities for the past few weeks. The involvement of women in these protests is significant. There are protests for equal rights for women, the right to education and employment.
