In the live show, the professor said, “From today onwards I don’t need these diplomas and degrees because there is no place for education in this country.” If my sister and my mother cannot read, then I do not accept this education.’

Taliban imposed many restrictions on women
The Taliban have re-occupied Afghanistan after the withdrawal of US forces in August last year. Taliban leaders promised a liberal regime soon after seizing power. However, generosity is not visible in the actions of the Taliban government. They have imposed many restrictions on women including education.
