Afghanistan’s Islamist and political movement, Taliban, has refuted claims that it banned women from attending Kabul University either as students or instructors.

American publication, NewYorkTimes, had on Tuesday quoted a twitter account in the name of Taliban-newly-appointed university chancellor Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat.

However, the university’s management and Afghanistan’s ministry of broadcasting have maintained that there is no restriction on females from attending universities in the country.

“These fake accounts are being used to mislead people with fake news,” the university told Geo News.

It added that Ghairat “has no social media account”, and that any information sought must be obtained from the university website.
