[Tolo News] Voting cards for Afghanistan's parliamentary elections are forged in Pakistain's Beautiful Downtown Peshawar city and are smuggled to AfghanistanBut... but... who could do such a thing? And why?
Business is slow for forged American passports?
One of the employees of a printing press in Pakistain, who refused to appear on TOLO TV, told TOLOnews reporter that a large number of these forged voting cards have been printed in Peshawar's printing houses so far. The Afghan Independent Elections Commission (IEC) said they have informed the security forces to prevent printing of forged cards.
"IEC can distinguish between the forged voting cards and the real ones, since the papers we use are different," Noor Mohammad Noor, the front man for IEC told TOLOnews.
Although IEC spoke of efforts to prevent printing of forged cards, but the question is, will IEC officials prevent the use of these cards in the parliamentary elections?
"Some people prepare forged voting cards for 10 to 15 dollars, to the candidates," Nazari Pariani, a candidate for the parliamentary elections, told TOLOnews.
IEC officials have also requested the candidates to inform the commission about such reports.
