We were shocked to hear the sad news of the demise of the mr.Zakir khan a nazim of tehsil matta swat and his brother Shakir khan ,the grandsons of Afzal Khan Lala,a veteran Pashtun Politician struggling for the Pashtun National Unity,by the terrorists in Swat the other day.

 

Their two accomplices were also seriously wounded.One of them died later in a hospital.Some three months ago Afzal Khan Lala was also fired upon,but luckily survived,though seriously hurt while two of his friends had died.Almost all the influencial affluent people and politicians including the Nazim-e-Ala of Swat district left Swat for Islamabad or abroad.

 

But Afzal Khan Lala refused to leave his people alone at the mercy of the terrorists and their promoters.Pakistan Army spokesman categorically is telling a lie to the international community and trying to befool them about the worst situations of the area of the Pashtuns.He says time and again that terrorists have been pushed to the mountaines and now the peace and tranquility have returned to the area.We are of the opinion that the extremists will have enough time in the mountains to prepare themselves for the fresh onslaught.The extremist forces have taken Peshawar and the subarbs in their custody.They can do any thing they like but the government has completely failed to provide security to the citizens.

 

There is no rule of law in the Pashtun region.No one knows what to do and where to go to lodghe complaint,because the writ of the govt. is not seen anywhere.People are silent and have kept mum.They are terrified to the extent that have been suffering from diseases.Pashtun are in a deep thoughts for their own protection as well as the security of their children,families and kiths and kins.As they are surrounded from all sides by the antagonistic forces including Armed forces of Pakistan which has made their life miserable for them.International community is sleeping about what is going on and is listening to what  lie Musharraf is telling them about Pashtun,while the actual situations are different from what the General  has taken along him to

West.

 

The whole mess has been architected by him and his establishment against Pashtuns.Pashtun are being punished by the sleuths of Pakistan like Ghairatmand Bengalis in the decade of 70st.There is a genocide of the Pashtuns,in Pakistan.International community should understant that extremist forces and Pakistani establishment are one and same.Both are friends and well-wishers of each other and do not want to harm themselves.Only Pashtuns are targeted for their crime which they do not know.

 

This is the part of the foreign policy of Pakistan.Pashtuns are being used as fuel.There is no sincerity and commitment on the part of the Pakistani establishment in war against terror.International community is thinkining that Pakistanii rulers will wipe out terrorism from the region is absolutely wrong perception and like to ,set a thief to catch a thief,.The actions on the name of terrorism are aggravating the problems of the Pashtuns.The real people are not harmed while the innocent Pashtuns,their children and women suffer.

 

Now a days the Pashtun are starved to death due to unemployment and price hike while their economic activities have also been deteriorated.Thare is hunger every where in Pashtun region due to terrorism and worst situations of the law and order.The youth are being thought about the lesson of the terrorism and the schooling is discouraged.The secular,progressive,Nationalist and democratic political forces are targeted and aim to create a vaccum.World should not believe in what the spokesmen of the govt.are telling to them about bringing normalcy and peace.

 

We are the people to live a miserable life here,die here but committed to raise the issues of our people at each and every forum to apprise international community about our problems and miseries.We hope that international community will extend their helping hand save our people from being diminishing by the esatblishment of Pakistan for the wrong doings which they themselves have committed while Pashtuns have been made scape goates.I conclude it on the words of a nazi German:

 

First they came for communist

I did not protest

because i was not a communist

Then came for Jews

I did not protest 

as i was not a Jew

then came for a trade unionist

I did not protest

as i was not a trade unionist

At last they came for me

but there was no one to protest for me.
