UN chief must refrain from using careless language: Mujahid

KABUL (Ariana News): The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has strongly condemned the irresponsible remarks of Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations regarding the ban on women working in the UNAMA office and added that the UN chief “must be aware of the meaning of his words and expressions and refrain from using careless language.”

Mujahid said in a statement: “The head of the United Nations must be aware of the meaning of his words and expressions and refrain from using careless language.”

According to Mujahid, the laws and guidelines concerning women and men in Afghanistan are based on Islamic Sharia law and are in accordance with it.

He added: “If someone is not aware of Sharia laws, that is their own problem, and instead of accusing others, they should educate themselves.”

Earlier, Guterres had called the Islamic Emirate’s decision to ban women from working in UN offices in Afghanistan “stupid.”
