Warning by Seyed Zekrullah Hashemi to Persian-Speaking Employees: One-Month Deadline to Learn Pashto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Informed sources from the State-Owned National Bus Company say that Seyed Zekrullah Hashemi, the newly appointed Financial and Administrative Director, issued a warning to Persian-speaking employees roughly 20 days after assuming office, instructing them to learn Pashto within one month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the sources, Hashemi emphasized the exclusive use of Pashto as the administrative language from his first days in office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent weeks, this policy has been enforced more strictly, raising concerns among a number of employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources further report that Hashemi granted Persian-speaking staff a one-month deadline to acquire Pashto, while simultaneously adopting a tense and confrontational management style, which has negatively affected the workplace environment and triggered dissatisfaction among employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This development comes as Hashemi has previously been known for controversial public statements, including remarks about the term \u201cuniversity\u201d and his hardline views on social interactions between men and women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His latest warning has once again pushed debates over language policy, administrative conduct, and ideological approaches within Taliban-run state institutions into the public spotlight.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
