Pashtun Democratic Council held a meeting in Peshawar.Almost all members participated enthusiastically.

This meeting was espesially called to observe the black day for the Pashtun/Afghan nation.In November 1893 the then British Government of the India divided Pashtun/Afghan nation through their representative Sir Mortimer Henry Durand,who drew the black line with the name of Durand line and tried to segregate the Afghans.

 

On this occasion the Chairperson of the Pashtun/Afghan Democratic Council Zar Ali Musazai said that Pashtun /Afghan have never accepted this line as a permanent border between two countries and stressed that Afghan living both sides will never realise it as a border because this is not the problem of one man or one Government,it is an issue of a nation.

 

He said despite a lapse of more than 100 years the Afghan could not be separated from one another.When in 1947 British left India, all the pacts signed with them were abrogated and today no one has the right to say that Pashtun have been given to them as the inheritance by the British.We know that when one body is broken into parts then the body will be definately disturbed untill be brought closer and tied.

 

Kabul is the heart of Asia and peace could be established in region when this part is saved from further disturbance.PDC urged upon the international community to get Pashtun re-united if they really want peace in region.This is the panecea for the disturbance.He also criticised those forces which want to scatter mines and fence the Durand line are living in fools paradide as they do not think that 21st century is of the divided nations re-unification and not of the segregation.

 

He also told to the participants that to counter them through political way who say that fault lies on Durand line.He said that real fault lies in Islamabad.If Pakistani establishment shows 5%sincerity in war against terror ,the problem could be solved but sorry to say that this establishment has never been sincere with Afghanistan where she keeps her intervention regularly and for this purpose they have kept terrorists centers opened in Punjab province and terrorists are being prepared there who then are sent to Pashtun areas and oward to Afghanistan as they know that nationalist and progressive political people will demand of them to stop intervention in Afghanistan and re-unificationof the Afghans.
