According to a Pakistani government official, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani holds a Pakistani identity card.

District Council Chairman Malik Dilmurad Hasni astounded the entire house during a meeting of the local body in Chagai when he revealed that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani holds a Pakistani identity card.

Hasni also presented a copy of the identity document of Afghan President issued by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) during the meeting.  He claimed that the legendary Afghan freedom fighter Ahmad Shah Massoud also possessed a Pakistani identity document.

Members of the district council were startled by the evidence of the level of corruption that has plagued NADRA, a federal agency assigned to manage the registration database of citizens in the country.

Members were also told that a number of Afghan nationals were elected as members during the local government polls in the province last year.
