A few Afghan clerics have announced support of the inclusion of mother’s name in the national ID card, a controversial issue with some supporters and many opponents.

President Ashraf Ghani approved a draft presented by the civil society to include the mother’s name in ID card.

“My mother’s name is Amena and I am proud to be her son. She raised and fed me. She was very kind to me. I made troubles for her, but she was nice to me. I kiss her hands,” said Maulavi Wahid Mohmand.
