Afghanistan’s sitting government has said that there is a ban on political parties in the country. According to media reports, the Afghan Ministry of Justice has once again emphasized that there would be no political parties in the country and the directorate of political parties has been closed from the ministry’s structures.
The ministry stressed that only charity organizations and unions can operate according to the principles and with an official license.
“This ministry has suspended the activities of social institutions that were active in the previous administration, and only charitable foundations and unions can operate with official permission,” said Barkatullah Rasooli, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice.
The ministry officials added that despite the prohibition, some officials of political parties who were registered in this ministry in the previous government have taken positions.
“Lately, some officials of political parties who were registered in the previous administration of the Justice Ministry, have taken positions and made movements from the addresses of their revoked parties,” said Rasooli added.
This ministry has considered any activities under the name of the party illegal in Afghanistan and has warned that if such activities are repeated, they will deal with the violators legally.
