Pakistan: Pashtoonkhwah Milli Awami Party Chairman Achakzai warns countrywide protests in case Ali Wazir is not released

Quetta: Pashtoonkhwah Milli Awami Party Chairman Mehmood Khan Achakzai has warned it will protest across the nation if  MNA Ali Wazir is not released from the prison.

The PkMAP chief issued the warning while addressing the participants of a protest rally taken out by his party on Friday against the incarceration of Mr Wazir, reports Dawn News.

The participants, carrying placards and banners inscribed with the demand for release of the detained lawmaker, marched on various roads of Quetta and gathered at Bacha Khan Chowk.

“December 16 is a black day in the history of Pakistan as on the same day Pakistan was dismembered in 1971 and our children were massacred in an attack on Peshawar’s Army Public School in 2014. Unfortunately, on the same day we are protesting for the release of Ali Wazir, an elected member of the parliament. All these catastrophes are the outcomes of the same mentalities and policies which did not change even after so much destruction,” Achakzai was quoted as saying by Dawn News.

While regretting that Ali Wazir has been incarcerated unlawfully for two years just to satisfy the ego of the powerful, he appealed to the judges of superior judiciary to act to uphold the basic human and constitutional rights of a citizen.

Achakzai also appealed to the bar associations and members of parliament to raise their voice for the release of the detained lawmaker.
