LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): A number of tribal elders, youth and civil society activists in southern Helmand on Friday demanded President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani direct the department concerned to mention the word “Afghan” in computerised national identity cards.
Abdul Rashid Nasari, head of Afghan Millat Party, told the gathering that if the word “Afghan” was not mentioned in the policy paper then they would launch countrywide protest.
Eng. Mohammad Zarif, a tribal elder, said: “Without mentioning the word Afghan means that we don’t have any identity.”
