The Waziristan political administration has conveyed its reservations to the FATA Secretariat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Masud Kausar and Interior Minister Rehman Malik over the proposed rally by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to the agency. Informing the authorities of its concerns regarding the law and order in the agency, the political administration said the rally would bring bad name to Pakistan if any untoward incident occurred in the restive tribal region.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has plans to take out a rally from Islamabad to Waziristan next month against the US drone strikes and he has also invited international journalists and human rights activists to take part in it. Analysts say the PTI would not be allowed to take out the rally over security concerns as the country’s armed forces have been battling a home-grown insurgency in the area.
