'Pakistan Can't Run On Bullets': Sohail Afridi Hits Out At Centre

(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) Speaking at an important press conference at Pakhtunkhwa House, Muhammad Sohail Afridi said that upon reaching 26 Number Chowngi, they found that the administration had blocked all routes. He termed it regrettable that elected representatives of 45 million people were stopped in Islamabad.

He alleged that Islamabad Police opened fire to stop representatives from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying it was easy to fire bullets at unarmed people but difficult to shift Imran Khan to a hospital for medical treatment.

Sohail Afridi said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provides Pakistan with cheap electricity, gas, and minerals, while in return the federal government is blocking gas supplies and wheat from Punjab. He added that the province is not being given its due share under the NFC Award, and on top of that, bullets are being fired at its people.

He further said that the Tehreek Tahafuz Aain Pakistan has called for protests on Friday and all parliamentarians will hold demonstrations in their respective districts. Suhail Afridi stated that the people of Pakistan cannot be intimidated by threats or bullets and will continue to stand firmly with their leader.
