· 2 min read · 316 views

GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): Residents of southern Ghazni province on Sunday joined anti-government protest demonstrations to push for adding the words “Afghan” and “Islam” to the biometric national identity cards.

Earlier, similar protests have been carried out in Kabul, Nangarhar, Kunar, Balkh, Paktika and some other provinces, in which hundreds and thousands of people have taken part.

The launch of a test ID cards distribution drive was put on hold by President Ashraf Ghani amid differences with the Chief Executive Office over some unsettled issues.
