| Afghanistan bans Pakistan newspapers over ‘Taliban propaganda’ |
| 2012-09-24 |
| Afghanistan on Saturday banned all Pakistani newspapers, accusing the publications of supporting the Taliban and seeking to undermine the government, an official said. The papers will be blocked at their entry points in the eastern provinces of Nangarhar, Kunar and Nuristan which border Pakistan. “The Afghan government decided to ban all Pakistani newspapers in Afghanistan,” government spokesman Sayed Ihsanuddin Taheri told AFP. “In recent months Pakistani newspapers have started an anti-Afghan government campaign, especially in the eastern provinces.” “The papers print Taliban propaganda, question the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan and run an anti-government campaign,” he added. |
