(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) Tribesmen from Wana South Waziristan headed by Member of
Pakistan National Assembly and one out of three top leaders of Pakhtoon Tahafuz
Tehrik (PTM) Saturday marched to Pak Afghan crossing point at Angoor Ada
whereas they not only condoled but also made a protest against killing of eight
Kabulkhel Wazir tribesmen mysteriously shot dead one week back. The assailants
intruded houses in village Rakha, Tehsil Beermal and picked eight persons. All
these eight persons included close relatives were later on shot dead by unknown
gunmen. Since occurrence on March 10, there is hue and cry throughout tribal
regions, parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and media, asking the Afghan government to
probe the incident. Though people in Paktika province included public
representatives confirmed the violent act. The Afghan government has announced
probing the matter through a commission. And the commission is yet to probe and
make public its findings. The tribesmen delegation headed by Ali Wazir forced
to stop by Pakistan security forces and they through 'fingers and voices'
condoled the sad demises of eight tribesmen with elders and dwellers of village
Rakha, who have been detached of each other's through one-sided fencing on
controversial Durand Line. Whatever might be the purpose but Saturday the
'hidden hands' succeeded when the Ahmadzai Wazir tribesmen in general and PTM
leader in particular lead a protest whereas some of its participants have
chanted slogans against the Afghan government. On such grounds, it could be
considered an internal matter of Afghanistan and Pakistan's 'biased Media' must
revisit its hostilities based policies. The incident occurred in a village
situated just on Afghan area that has crossing point with Pakistan, therefore,
it could be probed either through a joint commission or a commission of UN and
other international bodies. It was not first or last incident but in recent
past similar violent occurred at different points of Durand Line, which most of
it lunched through fake operations by Pakistani military. Security forces, law
enforcing and secret agencies of Pakistan is engaged in such type of tactics,
provoking civilians against Afghan government and political leadership. On such
grounds, media and common people needs to remain peaceful, patient and tolerant
on such acts and pressurize rulers at Islamabad for probing such acts through
credible and impartial bodies.
