And? That's bigotry, a totally different issue from accessibility.

The population WANTS this piece of bigotry, heck our ancestors voted for the damn thing it, it's literally the 2nd amendment of our the constitution.

You can't blame NADRA for including it in their forms, they do it on government demand. Heck, I had to sign the damn thing to get my damn passport, there is no escaping it.

But NADRA also has vans that go village by village providing photo-ID on the doorstep. And THAT is accessibility.

Do I wish this piece of bigotry wasn't in on our forms? Yes. Today Ahmedis; tomorrow Shias; day after who knows, it might be me.

Does it mean CNIC are BAD? NO, they are perhaps the only actually part of cour damn governance, being able to provide ID.

We could obviously do better, but NOT having ID is crazy.
