Kabul (BNA) calling peaceful demonstration the right of any Afghans, the country’s President, Mohammad Ashraf Ghani in a meeting with the house of people executive committee members asked for removal of the sit-in tents as he argued the act has only annoyed the people, said a statement from his office on Sunday.
In the meeting attended by Chief Executive officer, the country’s president said peaceful demonstration was the right of every Afghans, but continuing to erect the so-called sit-in tents was only a problem faced by the ordinary people who are suffering road blockages in the city, said the statement.
“In a series of my meeting with the people of different stratum, merchants and industrialists said they had suffered high losses from road blockages, a problem that should be ended,” said the president.
The executive committee members of the house assured the president to tackle the problem through a meeting with the Kabul representatives at the house of people and the Kabul provincial council members after discussing the problem with the protestors’ representatives, the statement said.
