Locals and authorities have that the broadcasting in the southern provinces has begun. Radio Voice of Shariat signal is available in the provinces of Paktia, Paktika and Khost.
Taliban controlled the Afghanistan Radio and TV when they captured Kabul In June 1996. They took the TV off the air and blasted the uplink dishes. their main objection was the appearance of female artists on the TV which they declared anti-Islamic. Broadcasting was restricted to Radio on MW and FM . Playing music and broadcasting female sounds was stopped. The name of the Radio Afghanistan was also changed to Radio Voice of Shariat. Radio Voice of Shariat went off the air and Radio Afghanistan regained its existence after September 11 when the Northern Alliance forces, backed by the US and the allies captured Kabul in 2001. And Radio Afghanistan started its broadcasting. According to localsin the southern provinces bordering Pakistan, the renewd Taliban programmes are heard every night from an unknown place on FM band, which can be heard for over a week. Most of their programmes are propaganda against the Karzai Government and international forces based in Afghanistan. Their propaganda calls the country 'occupied' and they encourage the people to fight against the Government and international forces. Parts of the programme are messages of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the Taliban leader that provokes people for Jihad. Radio Voice of Shariat do broadcast songs, but without music, the same music which was heard during the times when Afghanistan was under their control. The songs do have music; are more provocative and remind the people of Taliban as a good period of their rule. In the songs the Taliban played during their time of rule, the Northern Alliance was described as un-Islamic, and fighting them was called the holy war. The Taliban used to distribute letters throughout the night, dropping them in the front of house doors, throwing them inside shops, hanging them on walls and especially in mosques. As long as Radio Shariat broadcasts, they are able to have easy access to people, and this will make it easier too for them to reach people and harass them. Without doubt they're getting more powerful day by day, now that they launched a mobile FM radio that makes it difficult to trace the place from where they are broadcasting.This, surely is just one of the signs of their gaining ground. //////////////// Source: http://www.newkerala.com/july.php?action=fullnews&id=46957 /////////////////////// For Contact: Jaisakthivel,59,Annai Sathya Nagar, Arumbakkam,Chennai-600106,India Visit: www.dxersguide.blogspot.com www.sarvadesavaanoli.blogspot.com Join: www.groups.yahoo.com/group/sarvadesavanoli Mobile: +91 98413 66086 /////////////////////// Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
