Mohammad Agha Hakim, the Taliban's governor for Panjshir province, said on Tuesday that religious scholars should use their pulpits to inform the public and prevent young people from joining what he called the "path of falsehood."
Speaking at a meeting in Panjshir, Hakim emphasized that the views and positions of opponents must be explained from the pulpit so that people can differentiate between "right and wrong."
The Taliban governor described the pulpit as the "only way to distinguish right from wrong" and called on religious scholars to "keep these fortresses hot" and dissuade youth from joining groups opposed to the Taliban.
The Taliban administration pays special attention to Panjshir province, as it is a major center of activity and recruitment for armed anti-Taliban groups, particularly the National Resistance Front (NRF).
Ahmad Massoud, the NRF leader who hails from Panjshir, is attempting to expand his front's military activities across northern Afghanistan.
Critics argue that the Taliban's exclusionary policies have fueled widespread discontent in the country, creating an environment where some individuals are driven to join armed opposition groups.
