An Afghan television station has pulled an Indian soap opera from the airwaves on the orders of the government.*
Kumkum had already raised the ire of conservative clerics in the country, who had called it "un-Islamic."
"Under pressure from the Ministry of Information and Culture, we had to stop running one of our famous shows, an Indian drama," Abdul Qadir Mirzai, chief news editor for leading private station, Ariana, said Sunday.
