PESHAWAR: Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal MPA Abdul Akbar Chitrali has threatened Kalash community during a press conference in Peshawar on Tuesday.
Flanked by MPA from Chitral, he said that the “minority lawmaker” referring to Wazirzada Kalash, is interfering in “our departments”. He warned that if MPA Wazirzada Kalash did not ‘stop his interference’ there can be “Sunni-Kalash” clashes in the district.
MPA Wazirzada, the first Kalasha community member to function as a legislator, is from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI).
Meanwhile, PTI Ulema Wing’s Vice President Qari Mir Fayaz Chitrali has condemned the statement of Abdul Akbar Chitrali, terms the threats of sectarian violence an effort at ‘political blackmailing’.
Qari Mir Fayaz has said that MMA’s lawmakers want to appoint their people on different posts and they are using these tactics to blackmail the provincial government.
