    First I got copy of this FARMAN with my friend Liaqat Changezi who was working with CNN Nick Robinson,s team in early 2002. I did translate it in english and with a write-up sent to “WEEKLY SALSAL” Kabul and they did print it. After that I did translate it it Urdu and sent to my friend Abbas Changezi to post on hazara.net. The original source is hazara.net. Just for information of viewers.

  2. Finally

    Finally it came out to the public. To those people who said the destruction of acient Bamyan statues were only a religious act, this proves the primary act of historical and political.
