Waziristan peace march will proceed according to plan whether the government gives permission or not, said Information Secretary Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf Shafqat Mahmood.
He said that certain reports have appeared in the media suggesting that the local administration of South Waziristan backed by the provincial governor of Khyber
PakhtunKhawa province has refused permission to PTI to hold a public meeting in Kotkai South Waziristan.
Shafqat clarified that people of FATA have welcomed the peace march of PTI and there is no reason why the administration should try and stop it. However, he said, whatever they decide this will not stop PTI from undertaking this historic march. It will
proceed as planned. We leave, said Shafqat, from Islamabad on October 6 as
per the following program: 9:30 am Start off from Kashmir Highway Near Margalla Motel Islamabad. 9:45 am Reception at Motorway (Islamabad Toll Plaza); 10:30 am
Reception at Balkasar Interchange; 11:00 am Reception at Talagang; 12:00 pm
Reception at Rikhi; 12:30 pm Reception at Mianwali; 1:00 pm Reception at Kundian
2:00 pm Reception at Paharpur; 3:00 pm Reception at DI Khan; Night stay at DI Khan
October 7th: 7:00 am Start off from Tank for Kotkai via Jandola and AspinkaiRaghzai.
Shafqat requested the South Waziristan administration not to create hindrance for a historic march that is having repercussion internationally and is only designed to protest the barbarity of the drone attacks and express solidarity with the people of FATA.
We pray for the success. The march is important. All must give a chance to peace.
No body as humans have a right to create hurdles for the march. It is about humanity and no human should create trouble in the smooth conduct of the march. No one dared in the past to visit the area and show solidarity with the suffering tribals, it had to start one day let it be this day. The longer it takes to sought peace the more are the sufferings of the masses.
Weather you support PTI or not….we must all go to this march even if our lives are in danger…this country must be saved from our own mistakes. Bangladesh separated from Pakistan for the same reasons what we are doing in Balochistan and Waziristan, by sending our military to attack our own civilian areas.
And for the trouble that our politicians have caused: general musharraf, zardari and shariff, the courts will give you justice ONE day. …
.The right to protest is a basic human right–be it be in the form of a march or a speech as long it is peaceful. What are the authorities worried about? Perhaps their inability to provide justice and security which PTI seems to promise and highlight the collateral damage of drone attacks. Collateral damage is nothing but death and destruction. Let us give peace a chance. There are enough widows in the country . let there bo no more!he President is a widower but he does not hesitate to show his late wife,s photo every time he gets a chance at the UN. Don,t put hurdles in the path of peace—join it.
Here is my question to whoever wants to answer,what exactly do you gain from a march,protests,burning property,destroying the country's parks??? no one pays attention,atleast not the government,what it does is,it allows the world to see how backward and idiots we are.If someone really wants to make a difference,get on TV and share ideas,let the people what you are willing to do to make it better,make it right,make it work.But instead,these so called leaders come up with a plan to take a walk to Baluchistan,no different then the Sharifs sitting in a tent all day and going home to a nice cool air conditioned home to sleep while the public heads back to darkness.What does that do? what does that change? nothing.We need ideas,not whinning about the other party.Make your vote count if you want change,screaming and yelling won't help,action is required.This is our time to make a change,to make a difference,otherwise,plan to just scream,burn stuff for another 5 years,if Pakistan can last another 5 years like the last 5.Do we have such people in Pakistan who are willing to work for the people who elect the,work for the betterment of the country,people,future.Do we have the leadership to over come energy crisis,corruption,lack of respect for the law.And please,PPP idiots need not reply,we've had enough of you,your ways and your lying.I see no one,
I think the need of the hour is to deal with the engulfed balochistan and targeted sectarian voilence…. The strikes in Wazeristan are unfortunate and should be stopped but it will need international pressure and global will. We must first solve issues which are local in nature and undo the wrongs of our military and mullah alliance. Balochistan situation is extremely sensitive and target sectarian killing is plaguing us….
There are more then one ways to defy the writ of the government. Akbar Bugti was doing the same. How will this march ease out the difficulties and miseries of everyday life for the average Pakistani? It will, on the contrary, add to these. Senseless politicians out for personal gains and aggrandizement. Shameful.
PTI is moving in no direction and its leadership is full with confusion. First IK used to say Free judiciary is the key to every problem in this country, then is start saying only solution is early elections, then he raised slogan for end of war against terrorism, then he started shouting on corruptions of Sharifs and Zardari, then he marched towards Quetta for a rally to demonstrate his street power (obviously for no cause or reason) and now he is heading towards Waziristan ! – What a joke this joker is playing with this young nation – He will end-up NOWHERE.
