Shamshad TV boosters torched in Balkh

By Zabiullah Ehsas Aug 27, 2014 - 15:02
MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): A transmission booster of Afghanistan’s leading Pashto-language television channel has been torched in northern Balkh province, suspending its transmissions in at least five provinces, a reporter said on Wednesday.
Abdul Mateen Sahak told Pajhwok Afghan News that although no one had claimed responsibility for the attack, he suspected the booster had been torched purposefully.
Provincial security officials confirmed the incident. Col. Abdul Razzaq Qadri, ruling out the possibility of a criminal offense, said the evident cause was an electric short circuit.
Shamshad officials alleged that all of their broadcasting apparatus, including FM radio transmitters, had been deliberately set on fire.
The Afghanistan Independent Journalist’s Association (AIJA), meanwhile, called for a thorough investigation into the matter. AIJA said it was the responsibility of the Balk government to probe the incident.

28.08.2014: د رسنیو له لارې څرګنده شوه چې دبلخ په ولایت کې دشمشاد نړیوال تلویزون دانتن دستګاه دپښتون قام د دښمنانو له خوا ویجاړه او سوزول شوی ده.
د پښتنو ټولنیز ولسولیز ګوند دپښتو ژبې او پښتني کولتور د دښمنانو دغه کړنه چې دزغملو وړ نه ده په کلکه غندي او په ټولو پښتنو غږ کوي چې د پښتون/افغان قوم ددښمنانو په مقابل کې یو موټی شئ او ددښمنانو موخې شنډې کړئ

Atta Muhd Noor The vali of Balkh himself is a racist tajik.
Most likely his supporters did this.
Pashtuns from all sides should condemn this act of evil.
What make me realy sad that on other side our own pashtuns invested in parsi media and channels.
Our own pashtuns are promoting and teaching farsi to their kids while tajiks hate our language.
Pashtuns in afghanistan should stop this double standered and speak only pashtu with none-pashtuns.
If they do,nt want to learn your language why are you learning their language.

Those who hate pashtu can go to iran or tajikistan.

Tajik leaders are playing divisive politics but they must know that afghanistan there and will be.
pashtuns are spread from north to south and east to west.
That mean pashtu will be in the every corner of afghanistan.

Our biggest crime is being born Pashtun. Pashtuns will be killed if they openly said they're Pashtuns. The irony is, we will be called racist even though we're the one who gets killed for being from Pashtun ethnicity.

People say Pashtuns are backward. How can we not be backward. Whenever we try to build a simple news channel, our items get destroyed and our newscasters beaten/killed. When we try to make business/shop, we are chased out and even killed. They block our roads. Steals our hard earned money and items. We're discriminated in the military and not allowed in governmental posts. When we win election democratically, they deny our rights. When Pashtun children go to school, they throw acid on them.

This is how Tajiks treat Pashtuns. Tajiks are basically Natzi germany with steroids. This is how Tajiks marginalize and makes Pashtun genocide; and we rebel, we're called terrorists...

AIJA said it was the responsibility of the Balkh government to probe the incident.

Haha. As if they will.

True,well said
zama loya guna da dah chi pakhtun yam.

people hate our language,our way of life.
They hate our heroes.In fact they hate anything to do with pashtuns.
This is a fact.
If we die for them or save them from enemy still we are hated.
It is happening both in afghanistan and pakistan.

You are Pakistani, I don't know why you are interfering in Afghanistan's affairs. It's like an Iranian Azeri or Kurd who talks about Afghan ethnic dynamics.

Still, the biggest killers of Pashtuns are Pashtuns themselves. No other ethnic group comes close, perhaps Dostum's Uzbek militia who love to rape Pashtun women in front of their fathers.

If you hate Tajiks then let them leave the artificial federation of "Afghanistan".

Wrong.

Jews around the world, whether they agree with what Israel does or not, will support the concept of a Jewish homeland. Many/Most(?) Pakistanis whether they live in Pakistan or as part of the diaspora, support the idea of Pakistan as a 'Muslim homeland' and would not want the country to go back to India.

Pashtuns (in Pakistan or elsewhere), therefore, are no different when they look to Afghanistan as a homeland. What happens in Afghanistan affects us and we are right to be concerned. It is in the wider natural interests of Pashtuns to support Afghanistan.

[Badlun]

The problem is that Pashtuns throughout their history of thousands of years never used Pashto as an official language(except in few cases like the state of Swat) and Pashto was never part of print and electronic media in modern times.

Now Afghanistan has declared Pashto as one of the official language and there are emerging few media houses like Shamshad with pure Pashto programs which is a rarity for non Pashtuns.

They cannot digest it that Pashto should have its own media as for them Pashto is just a spoken language of tribes and has nothing to do with the sophisticated world of arts, literature, media and civilization.

True wrora.

I recently watched the news. That these Tajiks stopped newlywed couples and took all the gold and then gang r***ed their wives for literally a whole day.

Tajiks are beast in human forms. Dostum have indeed killed many Pashtuns in the past, but today it is thanks to him we still are alive. Tajiks fears him or else they would have massacred Pashtuns in thousands by now.

Don't listen to these Tajik propaganda who wants us Pashtuns to fight each other. Even a single Pashtun from the other side of durrand line, is worth more than all Tajiks combined. No matter how many lines people draws, our blood will remain the same.

[Kushan Prince]

To be truthfully honest, it was dosutm's Uzbek army that massacred tons of Pashtuns in Balkh just for being Pashtun by raiding our villages and pulling over cars late at night with Pashtun passengers in them. Even Tajiks and Hazara's in the north were against the genocide.

We have to look an both sides of the spectrum, we can't keep blaming minorities like Tajiks who don't even have proper power over us for all our problems otherwise it will turn into the blame game. We have to be fair.

So you are saying that Afghanistan is only for Pashtuns? Why then should other ethnics remain part of it? They should separate and pursue their own interests.
