teasin, tormenting and arrest of Afghans in Peshawar is condemnable

Pashtun Democratic Council
Press Release
Chairman Pashtun Democratic Council Zar Ali Khan Musazai has strongly denounced the illegal arrest, teasing and tormenting of the Afghans in Peshawar city and other parts of Pashtunkhwa. He said that Police and other law enforcement Agencies have made life for Afghans as a hell and their illegal arrest by police and imprisonment in various lock ups and goals of the Peshawar city and province is a shame for the government of Awami National Party which champions the cause of Pashtun/Afghans. Afghans are having the biometric Cards issued to them by the UNHCR. Those Afghans who have no such cards should not be arrested and tormented in the way the police and law enforcement agencies have been treating them. This is an insult to Pashtun/Afghans and this is intolerable. Afghans are neither terrorists nor having links with terrorists. The present wave of terrorism is due to wrong policies of the establishment of Pakistan, its military and ISI intervention in each and every thing especially in affairs of the neighboring countries and people. The terrorists have been and are still being nurtured and produced by the establishment and its Intelligence network and sleuths which is a shameful act. International community understands it well and those who have closed eyes are living in fool’s paradise. This negative attitude of the police and other agencies towards Afghans in Peshawar is very intolerable for us all. We realize that the solution of the present day problem is to get all Pashtun/Afghans united, abolish the black line of artificial division Durand line. Afghanistan is the historical home of all Afghans. Until the break away parts of Afghanistan are taken back and Pashtun are not united with their home Afghanistan the situations will remain as it is and Pakistani notorious establishment will be using the soil of Pashtun for its nefarious designs and Pashtun will be bleeding. Pakistan has completely failed to eliminate terrorism from the region. Now this country should show courage and advise international community to perch on the places of terrorism and help them clean it otherwise Pakistan has no capability to solve the problem and this will be complicated with each passing day and children of the Pashtun will be dying. Pashtun Democratic Council demands of the international community. US, Afghan government and UN to intervene into the matter and save the Afghans from the atrocities and barbarism of the police and other law enforcement agencies on the name of the elimination of terrorism. This is an insult to all Afghans if tormented in Peshawar. Afghans were pious people and Islamic brothers for the Pakistan when she was using them for its own purpose and now the Afghans are asked to go back. Elimination of terrorism needs commitment and sincerity on the part of Pakistan. This can not be wiped out by teasing, tormenting and arrest of the Afghans in Peshawar irrespective of their ages. We believe that Punjab is the center of terrorism and until Islamabad and Rawalpindi show sincerity this menace will continue. This problem has not been initiated by Afghans. Pakistan has created it and only this country has its treatment on the condition of sincerity and commitment. Afghan Government is also strongly requested to raise this important issue with the Pakistani government and ANP to avoid arrest and insult to Afghans in Peshawar.
