زنده باد افغانستان

Several books on history, literature and religion were thrown in river in the Nimroz Province of Afghanistan by the order of local officials. Provincial officials have announced that the books were religiously divisive and disputed and the ministry of information and culture has declared them illegal. According to authentic reports and what the owners have said, the books were History of Hazaraha, Identity of Afghanistan, and some literary and religious books that are now widely used in the country

It has been said by local officials that the books were thrown in water to avoid spreading religious differences among the people of Afghanistan. But this shameful act of Nimroz governor, uluma council and other authorities of this province certainly show their deep prejudice and ignorance. This action is similar to those wicked acts of Taliban regime, like destruction of Bhuda statue in Bamyan province and their order to change faith
This act causes sectarian and ethnical differences, as it has already troubled and annoyed lots of the people in the country. If a book on history of an ethnic is thrown in water or burned, this is a clear enmity to that ethnic and unfortunately it has been repeated in the history of this country in the past

The government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan should ask the concerned officials of Nimroz and punish them for their barbaric and shameful act, for their hatred, bias and prejudice, so that actions of this kind may not happen again in a country where democracy has not taken deep root so far. This act is violating the democratic values of this country and is opposite to the national and international efforts for democratization of Afghanistan

long life Afghanistan
