President of Afghanistan Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, on Saturday (21 October) strongly condemned Friday's deadly mosque bombings in Kabul and in western Ghor province that left more than 70 people dead and 200 injured. He said the terror attacks on two holy places as well as on other places was inhuman and against all values and principles of Islam.

He claimed that terrorist groups are attempting to misuse Islam as a tool to reach to their targets of sparking tensions among the people and harm the unity of the Afghan people. He also said that terrorist groups should understand that they will never achieve their goals and will soon be eliminated by the Afghan security and defence forces.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
