QUETTA -- Chairman Pashtoonkhuwa Mili Awami Party Mehmood Khan Achakzai has said,
Pashtuns have played a vital role for Independence of Pakistan but today we have been living as third nations without any respect added without equality Pakistan can't be stabilized.
The border, known popularly as the 'Durand Line', remains a significant issue in domestic Afghan politics, especially for nationalist
Pashtun parties, which vehemently resist any formal deal with Islamabad to settle the dispute.
Pashtuns enjoy a dominant position since the times of Amir Abdur Rehman, the Iron Amir, when he forcibly settled
Pashtun tribes giving them vast land titles to dominate the non-Pashtun areas.
He assured the members of United
Pashtun Society (UPS) that efforts would be made to resolve their genuine problems by the High Commission.
Historically, the
Pashtuns used to perform attan both in times of war and peace.
Recently, a check post in North Waziristan area was allegedly attacked by a group of
Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement members and led to the casualties and injuries as a result of exchange of fire between them and the military.
Pak army and tribal people have offered countless sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and now it is the time to bring development and prosperity in the lives of tribals, he said adding both Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir operate on the outer agenda in the name of
Pashtun.
Held under the aegis of
Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), the political activists raised the issue of kidnapping and target killings of
Pashtun political activists by Pakistani security forces.
But locating
Pashtun nationalism in that context would give us an idea of the continuity of resistance from the margins against a homogeneity imposed from the center.
How are
Pashtun characters represented in terms of traits, social personality and cultural values in the novel of Hosseini?
The recent rise of the self-explained
Pashtun rights movements named Pakhtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) has gained prominence through extensive media coverage but the sudden momentum of the group's rise has also raised eyebrows despite sympathy for its ostensible goals.
The administrative and security transition of the militancy-hit regions has gained added significance because of protests by the
Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement, a
Pashtun rights' movement demanding justice for Naqeebullah Mehsud who was killed in a fake police encounter in Karachi, recovery of the missing people, clearance of landmines, and an end to harassment of
Pashtuns at security check-posts.
London -- Daughter of Former Prime Minister, Mariyam Nawaz Sharif on Sunday called on the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to release the arrested
Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leaders.
April 20: The Washington Post report by Pamela Constable and Haq Nawaz Kjan states that the rally on April 8 was a pivotal moment for the
Pashtun Protection Movement, known by its Urdu initials PTM.
But they were ruled by
Pashtun kings and included territory now part of Iran and Pakistan.
