KARACHI: A sit-in organised by the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) at the Numaish traffic intersection continued for the second day on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Allama Shahenshah Naqvi said that the government had failed to establish peace in Kurram. He criticised the federal and provincial governments, as well as security agencies, for only making promises without taking concrete steps to restore peace in Parachinar “The sit-in saw the participation of leaders from various political and religious parties, as well as social figures.”
In the past, anti-state elements had declared their intention to turn Parachinar into a Gaza-like region. Now they are proving it. Innocent children were dying there “The rest of the country is witnessing a situation similar to that of Gaza.” The blockade of roads caused severe hardships for the district’s residents, escalating into a humanitarian crisis.
Declaring that there was no sectarianism in Parachinar, he said conspiracies were involved. Allama Hassan Zafar Naqvi, “Sheikh Sadiq Jafari and others also addressed the sit-in.” Meanwhile, a similar sit-in was organised on Abul Hasan Ispahani Road near Abbas Town.
The traffic police said that protesters blocked both tracks of the road causing a traffic mess. Vehicles stuck in the jam were diverted to alternative routes, they added. (Published in Dawn, December 26th, 2024)
