Politics Is Persian culture at risk in Afghanistan?

FYI: Not knowing how to mention it, I refer to Persian culture: the languages, traditions and customs of non-Pashtun ethnic groups.
Recently I have been told by a few of Afghans (Tajiks mainly) that with the current government the Persian culture is at risk.
- I believe he mentioned that the Dari language is actively thrown out of government institutions.
- Signs and symbols are being replaced with dual or Pashto only.
-The government is actively pursuing the spreading of Pashtun demographics in traditional non-Pashtun regions through migration.
I haven’t heard of read of any of these claims.
What are your thoughts on this have you come across this?
