RASC: On the eve of the arrival of Muharram, according to sources, the Taliban group of Shiites have prohibited the installation of scaffolding and large religious flags in the city.
According to the sources of the Taliban group, they also banned the opening of “Saqa Khana” and the distribution of drinks on Muharram days.
According to the sources, the Taliban group did not announce this order officially, but they raised it with the heads of the committees in the “Commission for solving the problems of Shiites of Afghanistan”.
This is despite the fact that every year, with the arrival of Muharram, parts of Kabul and other cities in Afghanistan take on a different color, the followers of the Shia religion hold this ceremony by hanging the symbolic images and flags of Muharram, and the Taliban group has imposed new restrictions this year. They have informed about this.
Another part of the restrictions is related to drinking camp where, as part of the Ashura ceremony, the organizers offer drinks to passers-by.
Meanwhile, the sources have not said anything about imposing restrictions on other parts of this Muharram ceremony, such as chest beating, reciting the prayer, and attending the prayer room.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Taliban group has “assured” that this group will provide security for the Muharram ceremony in the coming days.
Meanwhile, despite the fact that the Taliban group had announced the solution to the problems of the Shiites, the leaders of this religious group still complain about the discrimination of this group and say that the action is against the promise.
The Muharram ceremony is one of the religious ceremonies that are celebrated every year with the arrival of the month of Muharram in different parts of the country.
