Acting Minister of Vice and Virtue, Khalid Hanafi, while visiting Ghazni decried sanctions and said the Islamic Emirate is ready for engagement with the international community, but its offers, if they are against Islam, are not acceptable.

"We just follow Allah, prophet Mohammad, the Caliph of Rashidun and Companions in implementation of our law. We don’t accept anything from anyone which is against Islam,” said Mawlawi Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, minister of Vice and Virtue.

The provincial governor, Mowlawi Mohammad Ishaq Akhundzada, called on the forces of the Islamic Emirate to respect the people.

“Those who stand in the checkpoints, or are in a district office or another department, they should address the problems of the people,” he said.

Hanafi also called on government employees to adjust their appearance based on Sharia.

"All employees that are in the provinces, districts and ministries should make their appearances according to Islamic values,” Hanafi said.

He said that after the Islamic Emirate swept into power, the women are observing hijab "100 percent."
