'We are against the oppressors': PTM leader Manzoor Pashteen tells thousands at Peshawar rally

[saeedhk]

Hashim Khan, the person who started the PTM,has been abducted by intelleigence agencies.How shameful!

No wonder, after the Balouchs, the Pushtuns too, are considering a separate homeland.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

When the Hazaras start a movement demanding justice, they too will be labelled anti-Pakistan and anti-army. In the last decade, 6000 Shias and Hazaras have been murdered.

Nice post, almost every Hazara family has lost a loved one due to their identity (they are Hazara, they are Shia). I am not a Hazara nor a Shia but we really need to understand there are communities who are oppressed. They have genuine concerns. If we cant help them atleast don't throw their genuine concerns in trash.

KU Chemistry professor who is a supporter of the PTM has been kidnapped by you know who!

Liberals are the one behind freeing up minorities of all kind, all over the world and in past. Weather it was slavery, women rights, civil rights, rights for labor, oppression from feudal etc liberals of that time were behind it. Its not just about gays, its about an oppressed community, conservatives rarely stand for somebody weaker, they are the first one to sit in the lap of powerful... Lot of charity work is done by liberals too, World's biggest charity organization, Gates foundation is run by liberal and Atheists (Gates and Buffets), its not about please the non existent God, that makes you morally superior :

Look at the history of Muslim league, started as party of Feudal, played in hands of devil of the time aka British Raj, After partition, Muslim League was never about ideology, it was always a lota party, ready to sleep with the devil aka Army. All the lota cracy in Pakistani politics is largely culture of muslim league, which was always rewarded by Pakistan Army, they are still doing the same, all those seasoned lotas are part of PTI now...This Lota culture is Army's way of doing business, to make sure they wear the pants in the house

Agreed, liberals around the world have done a sterling work in their own spheres, but we are talking about a Peshawar rally here. In what way would your version of a liberal have any connection with the local population there?

 

[Mamoon]

PTI is the Army's party, and Pashteen is protesting against the excesses committed by the Army, which means that PTI will be wiped out.

Hence, the Army is striking back. Let's look at the chain of events here:

- In order to distance PTI from the Men in Boots, Kaptaan accused them for rigging.

- The Army bigwigs like General Tariq are cursing Kaptaan for trying to reinforce the fake narrative. However, at the same time, him along with the Army veterans are still rabidly supporting PTI and singing the same mantra.

They have already launched a counter strike against Pashteen by labelling him a terrorist and an India agent. It is all about making PTI win. With KPK gone, the Men in Boots' steel grip on democracy will be loosened.

People talk about India, but the Military is a bigger threat for Pakistan than India or any other foreign power. East Pakistan was lost because of the Army and not India. Furthermore, we will lose Balochistan because of the Army and not India. Same will happen to Waziristan - it is only a matter of time. This country will get balkanized, it is only a matter of time.

Not a bullet was fired by the greatest army in the world, and one fine morning they found to their horror that the country (USSR) they were supposed to defend didn’t exist anymore. I fear the same fate for Pakistan.

Bajwa looked like an intelligent man, but it appears that he is planning for the "meray aziz humwatno" speech, and the fools will go wild with excitement.

Taliban Khan told you for this collateral damage. When Army enters a place to clean it up there is no way things will go as planned and locals will suffer. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Vietnam there are various examples to see. What these pashteens mashteens saying now is what IK have been saying for years since 2004 when first time army was sent wo Waziristan and these same desi liberals accused him of being Taliban Khan for speaking against Army operations in Swat, Waziristan and other places

Niazi said all the rights things until he realized that you cannot win the election without the support of the Men in Boots. He had to change his narrative because of his desperation to become the PM, and this is not the only example or instance.

Where were the desi liberals when we was saying such things? They never stood with him instead he earned the taliban khan title from them. And FYI he in his recent speeches repeated it again and even said the demand of PTM are genuine.

Seven soldiers embraced shahadat today in North Waziristan. 2 schools destroyed in last 1 week. And all this started as soon as Army started removing check posts and Pashteen's lovers from other side of the border started coming back.

Mamoon it's good to get some attention by appearing to stand out but please stop embarrassing yourself. First of calling him Niazi as if it's an insult is quite pathetic and low and something we would expect from 3rd class jahils.

Secondly, we have discussed this many times. No one in last few decades have spoken on rights of FATA than Imran Khan (missing persons, drone strikes, opposing military strikes etc). No one was more criticised for opposing military strikes than Imran Khan and now all the losers who abused him instead of apologising are blaming him again???

 

[yasir]

Lot of people here are boxed into the establishment(aka Men in Boots) vision of the country, that has resulted in zulich, for last 40 years. As Hassan Haqqani mention below, if we have to learn something from west, that has to be freedom or expression and thought. Haqqani emboldened my views about Pakistan probably more than anybody else I have seen in public sector in long time. We have to let liberal culture take a root in the country, you just cannot be one dimensional... Now intellect like him, what Pakistan is loosing, irony is, any body who is good is not good for Pakistan(because he is traitor, atheist, liberal, western agent etc)

 

[Waseem]

^^ Lol instead of Hussain Haqqani, you might as well bring into picture Tarek Fateh

Whether it's Altaf, Nawaz, Haqqani or Achakzai, all of these low lives have gone against establishment for personal issues/benefits rather than democracy or rule of law. This new face of anti establishment actually is real face of Establishment, he is only fighting because he is in trouble for his personal corruption.

No matter how much i disagree, only Benazir fought against establishment for genuine reasons (I would ignore her deal making and corruption).

I love the way Hashmi goes after Army

If Pakistan was appreciative of politicians like him, we would not have to live with Army for 70 years. Politicians are short sighted or coward, at the end of the day, real enemy is Army, without putting Army to its place, no one can govern, you will be compromising too much, like everybody else did in the past. Country has no future as long as Army runs the show, irony is most people think there is nothing wrong with this model :

Yes Army played a huge role, i heard Saleem Safi and some Major Amir were very active to make this happen.

In short term it would be huge challenge to KPK government but i think if there is one government that will ensure FATA fets its due share and it's spent properly in FATA it's PTI government under Imran Khan. It would take many years to bring FATA at level with even rest of KPK, couldn't have happened at better time though.

Good to see Imran and PTI recognising the concerns of PTM as fully legitimate and supporting Ali Wazir in this election. I take it this should put an end to bizarre rumours of PTM being RAW agents/Afghan spies/wanting a separate Pashtunistan. After all, they've got the support of Imran, who would certainly not support any of the above parties.

Imran and PTI probably realise that PTM has been successful so far and has attracted a lot of support and therefore realise that it would not be in their interests to alienate PTM supporters in the rest of the province who may support PTI by fielding a candidate against Ali Wazir.

Regarding South Waziristan specifically, it is highly unlikely PTI (or any other mainstream party) would be able to field a competent candidate anyway who would beat Ali Wazir.

IK have been saying these things even before PTM came into scene he have been against Army operations and was labeled Taliban Khan by all desi liberals most of them support PTM now. Recently in his NA speech he mentioned we should listen to genuine demand of PTM but they shouldn't be allowed to chant anti army slogans that's not the way to demand.

I Support Manzoor Pashteen and his demands. He is a brave fellow patriot and he has challenged the right people at the right time.

Absolute cruelty & brutality has Tahir Dawar Shaheed witnessed and every democratic, sane mind who stands for human rights and civilian supremacy knows the hands behind his martyrdom.


Sorry to dissapoint you but Media blackout of PTM and Manzoor Pashteen is being carried out by the same handlers of PTI and Imran Khan sahib. (The enemies of human rights, liberal progressive prosperous Pakistan and enemies of Democracy and Civilian Supremacy)



After ANP debacle in Pakistan I want more PTM guys in Pakistan's Parliament.


Mohsin Dawar & Ali Wazir are pleasant edition to Parliament.


Pashtoons and Balochs cannot be pushed towards the wall further. Give them there rights.


State within the State has to be demolished.

if some of our posters come out of pp and visit peshwar and see the anger of people then they will realise that Everyman and every pathan has come to know the tactics. Beleive me people from kpk have changed an da they know what’s is going wrong God forbid it we may see another disaster where this kaghazi democracy will be unable to prevent the tsunami. Personally I have been extremely disappointed over Imran Khan and prot government and rightly trying to move out of this country as soon as possible.Why should I serve in a country where I am not sure if my safety with in Islamabad???, why why????

Hashim Khan, the person who started the PTM,has been abducted by intelleigence agencies.How shameful!

No wonder, after the Balouchs, the Pushtuns too, are considering a separate homeland.

I literally have left one pashtun all my life who wants a separate homeland.

Anyone who abuses army the institution as a whole (not certain individuals), is a traitor and should be dealt with accordingly. 'Dhashetgardi k peeche wardi' slogan is an insult to thousands of martyrs who laid down their lives in order to protect those very snakes chanting against them.

Most of Pakistanis have suffered in one way or another during the last ten years. There was a time when people were not sure that they would return safe from a bazar visit or from Jummah prayers. Many thousands lost their loved ones during WoT but they kept their patience and Allah gave them Sabr. Police and armed forces itself were targeted mercilessly so please do not tell me about suffering.

Expressing your genuine concerns in an appropriate way is one thing and playing in enemy hands, inciting public against the state and abusing its defenders is another. Any other state would have dealt with them firmly but we have been too soft and learned nothing from our past.

14 people were also killed in Lahore including women , do you know how many of the perpetrators have been hanged?
Police brutality is quite common in Punjab/Sindh. The powerful and elites are seldom treated fairly here , this is not limited to Pashtuns.

So two wrongs makes one right??? For me Pashtun have suffered more in this war and by wrong policies and on the top of that cases like these are like salt on their wounds. This man is involved in 444 murder cases and he is living a lavish life do not fool me he has not lost anything.

No doubt there are valid concerns surrounding war on terror but Rao Anwaar case is not different to what happens with other people in this country.

Not to mention, Manzoor Pashteen is a dodgy character who is supported by Afghan and Western intelligence set ups, those same people who are themselves responsible for the horrors which FATA people faced.

Playing devils advocate here..

How else would you remove such an entrenched organisation like MQM, who were proudly boasting and offering there services to foreign powers on the basis that they have their people entrenched in ever street of urban sindh.

Where are those street killers now? Either dead or have fun away and the result of that is now Karachi is returning to what it once was. The number of people who have gone and and said the turnaround is unbelievable.

If you look at how India overcame the Khalistan militancy issue, it also involved rao anwar type characters

Maybe in exceptional circumstances, every country needs or resorts to a rao anwar.

No my point is this:

Rao Anwar went on a spree in Karachi and while let’s say majority were MQM target killers quite a lot were just innocent party workers who were random nobodies in a small mqm sector office in a locality. For them it was just being in a job. Like they were phone operator for example? Are they worthy of being killed extra judicially when they don’t have any guilt even remotely? And even further than that any middle class or poor Urdu speaker without connections was fair game as well. I knew a family whose son disappeared for months due to rangers.

And my point is simply this. That didn’t lead to any widespread movement such as this and people supporting this. But one Pathan shopkeeper was killed and such a reaction? Why? Why didn’t the liberals or nationalists rise up in the earlier case?

Because this hoohaa is a last throw of the dice in hybrid warfare against Pakistan..... if cpec is to be disrupted, you need locals to be disruptive and where are these ptm people based, along its route ofcourse.

If you work for an anti national organisation, you are one and the same. When the Americans were hunting alqaeeda, they weren’t distinguishing between telephone operators or waiters and foot soldiers. All were the same to them.

I am from Peshawar, and I was there last year. I saw no such massive resentment.

The major resentment is for living conditions, poverty, lack of security, etc...

News flash, the whole country has these resentments from Karachi, to South Punjab to Azad Kashmir.

The Rao Anwar guy is a cockroach and has probably hundreds of lives on his hands majority of whom were not Pashtun.

But one Pashtun was killed and suddenly this becomes a racial discrimination case?

He needs to be hung for his crimes, but not because of some made up racial bias on a single ethnicity, but because he has committed crimes on Pakistanis.

Of course Pashtuns have suffered the most these past two decades, KPK shares a border with Afghanistan where the war started, guess when? Two decades ago.

Pakistan had no choice to join this war, I dont like the decision, but USA made it clear, join or get bombed. It was survival tactics.

This led to the TTP being formed in retaliation.

Which led to army operations inside northern Pakistan.

This led to the Pashtun resentment.

However, what should have the army done?

Let TTP control large swathes of area?

Do you still doubt that it wasn’t Selected PM’s handlers/operators who picked Tahir Dakar from ISB the capital of Pakistan and got him killed in Afghanistan ?


It was a message from Deep State to PTM especially Manzoor Pashteen that this is our Power so end ur constitutional resistance and bow down infront of us.



Look at ANP they have kicked out Bushra Gohar & Afrassiab Khattak from party because of the pressure from real power corridors.



Have a look at Ali Raza Abidi’s tweets post election 2018. There are audio recordings aswell on YT.



He was silenced.



This is a final warning for Jibran Khan Nasir aswell from Stooge’s handler. If he doesn’t stop standing for human rights he won’t be spared either.



Did you watch the views of Pakistan’s pride, patriotic soldier Major General (Rtd) Amjad Shoaib wrt Ehsan ullah Ahsaan ?



Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement is what Pakistan requires. ANP was periodically silenced because they stood against Zalimaans who are proxy of whom ? For true answers hear Manzoor.


3 generations of Balour’s were wiped out.



Any progressive voice who stands up for human rights or civilian supremacy is unwanted by those who matter.



PTM is a force now. All those who really believe in human rigths, constitutional rights, freedom of speech and civilian supremacy stand with PTM across the board.

[saeedhk]

When it comes to picking up those who chide the Pakistani establishment for their wrongdoings, the law enforcement agencies are highly efficient and go to great lengths to pick-up and silence such elements within hours (peace activist from Lahore was picked up and disappeared in mere hours after he posted on Facebook and called for harmony between Pakistan and India.)

However, no such efficiency is shown when LeJ and its ilk stage rallies in the heart of Karachi and call for the murder of religious minorities.

Apparently, the backbone of terrorism has been broken.

 

[blackanhyellow]

we already know how did it it occur so no need to repeat. Have you lived or been to Fata or swat, have you talked to the people, if you have I am sure you will know better.

First you asked about Peshawar, now you changed it to FATA/SWAT?

No I haven't been there, but of course they would be upset, there was a literal war going on in their lands.

That's like saying Syrians living in Syria are upset.

FATA has been mainstreamed, I know everything moves slowly in Pakistan but hopefully this will lead to some results.

The main cause of Pashtun resentment in these areas was due to the Pakistani military action there, which caused a lot of hardships for the people. I.e. displacements, deaths, etc...

But what was the alternative, let TTP and other Afghan/Indian proxies control the area?

When it comes to Pashteen, he does have a lot of support, and I dont doubt his intentions. However, the people that support him due so for other means. I wouldnt be surprised if ANP supporters (for political reasons), Pashtun nationalists (for separatist reasons), Afghan refugees are among the Pashtuns that actually have legitimate grievances.

ANP does not stand a chance against PTI in the near future, which is why they are lashing out.

The Pashtuns with legitimate concerns are those from the former tribal areas and SWAT. Pakistani government should address their reasonable concerns.

But my point was this outrage over Rao Anwar is a drama. Can't you see how it was blown out of proportion. There are elements at work that wanted PTM to gain national spotlight, and it worked. Even with the media ban against them.

Rao Anwar has killed hundreds majority of them were not Pashtuns.

However, that being said, all of PTM's conditions are reasonable and so far has been non-violent. So they should be addressed. But PTM themselves need to govern the bad apples in their movement. Any notions of violence and separatism will not end well.

Pashtoons are not the kind of people that will lie down when oppressed. If they were facing genuine issues they would have shown their resentment in no uncertain terms. But the reality is that most of them want to get on with their lives and are actually relieved that peace has returned to their land. Pashtoons are actually doing better than most other communities of Pakistan in socio economic terms so all these efforts to instigate them against the state will go down in vain.

Most of the PTM supporters have their own personal agendas and their followers are a small minority.

SC rejects Rao Anwar's petition to have his name removed from ECL

The Supreme Court on Thursday turned down former Malir Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Rao Anwar's petition to have his name removed from the exit control list (ECL).

Anwar is accused of being involved in the murder of Naqeebullah Mehsud — an aspiring model and shopkeeper from South Waziristan — and others in a fake police encounter in Karachi, but is currently out on bail.

He had petitioned the court to have his name removed from the ECL on account of performing Umrah and attending the wedding of his daughter abroad.

At the outset of the case today, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar questioned Anwar's counsel as to how his client was out of jail despite being accused of murder.

"Rao Anwar was an absconder," Justice Nisar noted, referring to the former policeman's infamous disappearance in the wake of the emergence of allegations against him.

"How did he [Anwar] get acquitted?"

"Rao Anwar wasn't acquitted; he is out on bail," the counsel replied. "His family lives abroad. He wants to meet them and also wants to perform Umrah with his family."

The chief justice suggested that Anwar's family be called to Pakistan as he set aside the petition.

"Confiscate Rao Anwar's petition," the top judge ordered. "He has killed a young boy. Until the trial is over, Rao Anwar will stay in Pakistan."

The chief justice rubbished Anwar's justification for seeking ECL exit, saying that the actual purpose of the petition is to "deposit abroad the wealth looted from here".

Furthermore, Justice Nisar said that "this bench knows how Rao Anwar was arrested".

"He was provided all facilities during his arrest," he added.

Naqeebullah case

Naqeebullah Mehsud was among four people killed in an encounter on January 13. While Anwar had claimed that all four of the men killed, allegedly on his orders, belonged to the terrorist outfit Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), social media had erupted in protest against Mehsud's killing after it was found that he was an aspiring model.

The tainted police officer had gone into hiding soon after demands for his arrest in the Naqeebullah murder case had gained traction. A police JIT had then found the encounter was staged.

Anwar had then resurfaced in a dramatic manner at the Supreme Court, after repeated pleas from the chief justice, from where he was subsequently arrested.

Soon after his arrest, his house in Malir Cantonment was declared a sub-jail. He had later moved an application for provision of better class facilities in the sub-jail. The court had accepted Anwar's application for better facilities, including an exemption from being handcuffed.

In July 2018, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) had ruled that Anwar was not present at the time Naqeebullah and three others were extrajudicially killed in an alleged ‘staged’ encounter. A week later, the ATC had granted bail to Anwar.

ATC declares Naqeebullah Mehsud and others innocent, quashes cases against them

An antiterrorism court in Karachi on Thursday declared Naqeebullah Mehsud and three others innocent and quashed the cases filed against the four accused who had been killed in a staged police encounter by notorious encounter specialist former SSP Rao Anwar and his team.

The ATC-III judge in his order declared the police encounter "fake" and observed that the statements of witnesses and the forensic reports have not supported the allegations levelled in the FIRs lodged against Naqeebullah, Mohammad Sabir, Nazar Jan and Mohammad Ishaq after their killing in a staged shootout in Shah Latif Town of Karachi in January last year.

While accepting the police report, the court ruled that the cases were disposed of for being false.

Earlier, police had submitted an investigation report under B-Class [Bogus class] in the five cases lodged against the four victims by the then SHO of Shah Latif Town Amanullah Marwat over various counts, including attempted murder and allegedly carrying illicit weapons.

The police report revealed that the encounter was fake and the allegations were baseless. Moreover, the victims were innocent as it was the case of the extrajudicial killings, it added. Subsequently, a case was also lodged against the police party for farming the victims in forged cases.

Last week, the court had dismissed bail applications of 13 former police officials in the cases pertaining to the alleged kidnapping for ransom and killing of the aspiring Waziristan model and three others in the ‘staged’ encounter.

Innocent or a terrorist?

Naqeebullah, who hailed from South Waziristan, was among the four suspects killed in an 'encounter' with a police team headed by SSP Anwar in the Usman Khaskheli Goth on the outskirts of the metropolis last year.

Anwar had stuck to the claim that the deceased was a Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant but the a spokesperson of the outlawed TTP's South Waziristan chapter had termed Anwar's claim as "baseless", clarifying that Naqeebullah had no links with the banned militant outfit.

Naqeebullah's family also disputed the SSP's claim, saying that the 27-year-old had no links with any militant organisation.

Naqeebullah — whose name is given as Naseemullah on his national identity card — was a shop owner fond of modelling, a relative of the deceased had earlier told Dawn.

The next day, the Supreme Court of Pakistan also had taken suo motu notice of the incident.

The ‘encounter specialist’

Rao Anwar, called the ‘encounter specialist’ by some, is known for carrying out 'encounters' of controversial nature against outlaws and has claimed in the past to have killed militants belonging to various terrorist organisations and the then-Mohajir Qaumi Movement activists during his raids.

The majority of such cases remained unquestioned, apart from the few where the families of those shot dead moved the court.

Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani on Sunday took notice of the death of Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) senior member Arman Loni — who was allegedly killed during a sit-in in Loralai on Saturday — and sought a report from the commissioner of Zhob district.

According to an official handout, CM Alyani has directed that the report be submitted to him within 48 hours.

Following his death, Loni's family and members of PTM maintained that he was killed in a police crackdown and demanded that the Balochistan government take notice of his death.

The Quetta SSP operations, however, said on Sunday that the postmortem exam did not find any signs of violence or injuries on the deceased's body.

Earlier on Sunday, the Member of National Assembly (MNA) from North Waziristan, Mohsin Dawar, said that the government of Balochistan had imposed a ban on his entry into the province, as well as that of his fellow parliamentarian Ali Wazir.

Dawar, in his tweet, alleged that the provincial government had imposed the ban "to stop us from attending the funeral of Arman Loni". Both Dawar and Wazir are prominent leaders of the PTM.

According to a notification — dated February 3 — shared by Dawar on Twitter, "the Deputy Inspector General of Police Loralai Range has recommended imposition of ban on entry of Dawar and Wazir along with their supporters of PTM in the province [...] in the best interest of public peace and security".

The shared notification notes that the provincial government "has reasons to believe that circumstances exist that demand extraordinary vigilance and extensive security means to preempt any untoward incident".

"Under sub-section (5)(1)(a) and (c) of the Balochistan Maintenance Public Order Ordinance 1960, the government is pleased to impose ban on entry of Dawar and Wazir along with their supporters with immediate effect for ninety [90] seven days," adds the notification shared by the MNA.

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemned the “brutal killing of Arman Loni in Loralai” and demanded that an “independent and transparent inquiry” be conducted into the incident.

PPP Senator Farhatullah Babar criticised the ban on entry of the MNAs, calling it "shameful, disgusting".

Last year in June, Dawar was banned from entering North Waziristan for three months by the agency's political administration.

"Dawar is acting in a manner prejudicial to public peace and tranquility," the local political agent had stated in a notification. "He is instigating the people through provocative speeches against the state."

Later, the PHC set aside the North Waziristan administration's directives barring Dawar from entering the area.

Also last year, the duo were placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) after a case was registered against them in Swabi. The lawmakers came to know about the ban on their travel abroad on Nov 30 when they were offloaded from a Dubai-bound flight on Peshawar airport.

On Dec 20, 2018, the federal cabinet directed the Ministry of Interior to "immediately" remove names of the MNAs from the ECL. The directives were issued during a meeting of the federal cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

He was killed for no reason. It is so sad. How much more blood will be split?

Looking forward to hearing justifications for this act of evil.

There is no doubt PTM people have some genuine grievances but at the same time some of their actions are just short of mutiny.
Nevertheless, looking at the reports of his killing it seems that he was killed unjustly.

But I see some extremely anti-Pakistan tendencies in them. I see that a lot of people in their ranks are illegal or legal Afghan migrants. I was looking at their twitter protest pictures and one guy is holding an Afghan flag there. Although we saw how Pakistani flag carriers were not allowed to enter their jalsa.

Similarly, I understand that PTM were holding a protest against the blast which in fact exploded outside DIG office and policemen or applicants were killed. Against whom were they protesting ? Law enforcement agencies or TTP?

Now, they chose the Kashmir solidarity day for so called worldwide protests.

In short, i see different elements among them. There are genuine victims those who faced excessive force during military operations in FATA, there are those whose relatives were associated with TTP and were killed which made them natural enemy of the state, then there are those elements who have support of RAW/NDS, some sympathizers like Mahmud Achakzai have always been anti-establishment and are bitter over their loss.
