Islamabad: Information Minister for Pakistan Fawad Chaudhry on Monday attacked the Taliban regime in Afghanistan for the latest “retrogressive” movement forbade women from traveling alone in public spaces.
The Taliban on Sunday said women who tried to make remote trips should not be offered transportation services, if they were not accompanied by relatively male closely.
Chaudhry oppresses his steps.
“Women cannot travel alone or go to schools and colleges (alone) – this kind of retrogressive thinking is the danger for Pakistan,” Minister said.
Afghanistan has been under the Taliban government since August 15 when Afghan Hardline militant groups overthrew the elected government of President Ashraf Ghani and forced him to escape from the country and take refuge in the UAE.
Girls leave school in several provinces and educated women face a gloomy future.
Chaudhry said Pakistan must map its own progressive program.
He paid tribute to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, said Pakistan was created to “preserve (a) minority rights and guard them”.
He also said that Jinnah clarified the role of minorities in Pakistan by imagining a country had no business with religious problems.
He also said that Jinnah never wanted Pakistan to become a religious country, and all his lifestyles vary from people who used their names even today to make Pakistan underdeveloped countries.
Chaudhry said Pakistanites are now different from what is in the mind of Jinnah and Poet, Muhammad Iqbal because it is a product of retrogressive thinking that comes to win later and causes a decrease in Pakistan.
“This fight (against regressive thinking) is very important for Pakistan’s survival and only by winning it can we or other countries move forward,” he said.
