The launch of the electronic National Identity Cards’ (e-NIC) roll-out process by President Ashraf Ghani was met with mixed reaction from parliament members while they had a tough discussion over the matter at a Saturday session. 

A number of MPs said they back Ghani’s move over the distribution of e-NIC while others strongly rejected the process and called it “illegitimate”. 

The arguments between the MPs continued with a number of them in heated disagreement.
