Swat Leaders Criticise Parliament, Judiciary For ‘Silence’ Over Killings In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 

Published on

Pakhtun leaders have criticised parliament and judiciary for remaining “silent” over killings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in the last two months in a rally held in Swat.

The rally was organised by the Swat Olasi Pasoon (Swat Public Uprising) and was attended by people from across the province.

Member National Assembly Ali Wazir, Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, and Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement chief Manzoor Ahmad Pashteen were among the speakers.

The leaders condemned the recent terror attacks across the province, including a blast in an office of the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in the Kabal area that claimed 17 lives and killing of Shia teachers in an attack at a school in the Kurram district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, reported Dawn. 

During the rally, MNA Ali Wazir criticised the state’s policies that have led to a resurgence of terrorism in the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

PTM chief Manzoor Pashteen wondered how the military was unable to eliminate terrorists despite several operations.

The speakers said they would not allow Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to be impacted by terrorism again.

While rejecting the claim of the KP police that a short circuit caused CTD blasts, the speakers demanded a judiciary inquiry into the incident.

People in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been holding protests in various parts of the province against the resurgence of terrorism since the last few months.
