Hundreds of Shia protesters marched towards Presidential Palace in Kabul late last night demanding President Ghani’s immediate actions regarding the recent wave of violence which struck two districts in Ghazni and another district in Uruzan province, mainly inhabited by Shia Hazaras of Afghanistan.
The protesters have gathered near the road leading towards Presidential Palace and demand President Ghani to issue a decree to suppress the Taliban militants.
According to reports, the Taliban militants have launched coordinated attacks on the mainly Shia inhabited districts of Jaghoori and Malistan in Ghazni and Khas Uruzgan district of Uruzgan province.
The attacks were launched few days earlier and have claimed the lives of several civilians so far.
In the meantime, the Kabul Garrison Command Commander Gen. Murad Ali Murad told protesters that President Ghani was ready to hold talks with them over the phone but the protesters have refused to hold talks with President and demand the release of a decree by the President to allow the security forces to suppress the militants.
On the other hand, lawmakers representing Ghazni in the parliament are saying that heavy clashes still continue between the uprising forces and the Taliban militants as they urge the government to take immediate steps to curb the violence.
