Footage of 1960s star Ustad Mahwash was shown on Saturday night despite the objections of the supreme court. Until this week, state TV had not shown women singers since the fall of the Soviet-backed secular regime in 1992. Culture Minister Sayed Makhdoom Raheen said Afghanistan's new constitution gave women equal rights. On Monday, a popular singer called Salma appeared on television, prompting a letter from the court demanding such broadcasts be stopped. Television executives decided they had gone too far, and said on Friday that the country was not yet ready for such broadcasts. But on Saturday night, it was the turn of Ustad Mahwash, a household name in Afghanistan in the 1960s and 1970s. Earlier, amid some confusion over whether the TV would follow the court, the culture minister upheld its right to air the songs. "There is no discrimination and there will be no discrimination," he said. President Hamid Karzai said that it should be up to the government to decide on the issue, adding that there had been a tradition of women singers on TV and radio for "50-60 years". 'Not un-Islamic' Deputy Chief Justice Fazel Ahmed Manawi had said the supreme court was "opposed to women singing and dancing as a whole". "This is totally against the decisions of the supreme court and it has to be stopped," he said on Wednesday. However, Women's Affairs Minister Habiba Surabi accused the court of "interfering in issues which are not their business". "I didn't see anything un-Islamic in Ms Salma's footage," she said. "She was just sitting politely and singing." Women have gradually been gaining a higher profile since the fall of the Taleban - which banned television outright - just over two years ago. The recent loya jirga, or grand assembly, adopted a new constitution which gave women equal rights. Since 2002, some have presented news shows on television. There has also been a proliferation of Indian movies and cable television, which conservative Muslims have heavily criticised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
