@AbdullahAzada It is so shameful to call yourself a member of the Civil Society yet act against the core values of civility and humanity.
Such a hypocrisy!
Taliban say nothing but the truth!
Long ago, they closed all the male religious madrasas when they realized that the level of sexual exploitation was very high there.
(Responding to the baseless allegations and ignoring the proven)
Such a hypocrisy!
