Taliban killed 13 people for playing music at a wedding party, says the former Vice President
Amarullah described the massacre as a
"condemnation of the Taliban regime" and called for a united front in
the country.
Amarullah also blamed Pakistan for the killings. For
the past 25 years, the Pakistani Taliban have been taught to destroy the
culture and people of Afghanistan. This was in order to control our soil. Now
it all comes to fruition. "This regime won't last but unfortuatnely until
the moment of its demise the Afghans will continue paying a price again.",
Amarullah Saleh explained on Twitter.
Taliban militiamen have massacred 13 persons to silence music in a wedding party in Nengarhar. We can't express our rage only by condemnation. For 25 years Pak trained them to kill Afg culture & replace it with ISI tailored fanaticism to control our soil. It is now in works. 1/2

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15. Since
then, there have been several reports of Taliban attacks on musicians and
musicians. The Taliban closed the National Institute of Music in Afghanistan on
September 4. Fawad Andarabi, a prominent Afghan folk musician, was shot dead by
the Taliban two weeks ago.
A few days ago, the Taliban destroyed the entire equipment of a recording studio operating in Kabul.
In an interview with the New York Times, Taliban
spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that music was forbidden in Islam. The
Taliban's response to the ban on music was that it would force people to follow
it without pressure. Meanwhile, international media reported that the Taliban
had arrested two people in connection with the massacre at the wedding venue on
Friday. Two of the three attackers were reportedly arrested.
