Afghanistan’s Senate on Sunday approved a legislative decree issued by President Ashraf Ghani stating the new electronic identity cards will note religion and ethnicity information of each person.

However, the Lower House of Parliament initially voted against the decree, but now a joint commission from the House of Representatives and Senate will be established to debate the issue.

In this episode of Farakhabar, host Fawad Aman discusses the topic with the following guests:
