London Persian Rally

London Rally Calls for Khurram's Dismissal

Over a hundred of Persian-speakers gathered in front of the Afghan Embassy in London on Friday in protest at the Afghan Culture Ministry's decision to reprimand a local journalist for using Persian words in his reporting. The rally was organized by the Social Organization of Afghanistan and Asia in London.

Earlier this week the Afghan Minister of Information and Culture Abdul Karim Khurram confirmed that the journalist's salary was cut for several days as he had used Persian equivalents of Pashto words for "university", "faculty" and "students". Baseer Babai, the reprimanded journalist, believes that he has all rights to use his native language on TV.

assalam alykom,

I feel very sorry for those who dont think and say what they like to say. its a proverb " think b4 u leap" what is this all about farsi pashtu. every language is the language of ALLAH SWT. but we ppl dont think thats why afg is suffering from this from last 30 yrs.

and for Drgoogle bro..plz stay out of it bcz u r putting hatred in our afgan brothers and sisters.

all afgans watever languages( pashtu,dari, farsi, sharey or tajiki) they speak are brothers and ssisters.

@persic187 fuck out of here afghanistan is afghanistan controlled by the pashtun warriors that whipped imperialist asses for centuries.

I am A Pashtun, but I totaly agree with these protesters, Pashtuns need to stop hatin against Farsi Speakers, and Vice Vesra, because we are a giving away one of our cultural roots to our neighboring turko-like persians. Afghanistans a land were Farsi and Pashto was created, but Iran is claiming over Farsi, We shouldn't give them anything away like that.

Read your history again.

[ShamaliwalTajik]

I agree with this wholeheartedly

[Everblazzin21]

Really? Why did the the Afghans (pashtuns) hold the persian thrown over and over again....Isnt "herat" an iranian city? why is it in afghana? CAUSE WE RULED YOU PEOPLE

[persiandudeee]

One day, I hope, Iran, Tajikestan and the Persian parts of Afghanistan will unify into one powerfull and progressive Persian state.
