| Shahi says operation Rah-e-Rast anti-Pakhtun |
| 2009-06-06 |
| [Geo News] The president Awami National Party (ANP) Sindh Shahi Syed has termed the ongoing military offensive Rah-e-Rast against Taliban in Swat and Malakand Division as anti-Pakhtun as our community is suffering more than militants. He said Pakhtuns must not be kept in relief camps as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and helpless people instead they should be rehabilitated in the earliest possible time. In a statement released from ANP Sindh here on Friday, it is asserted by Shahi Syed that lip services rather than practical measures from government have been multiplying the miseries of (IDPs). Â"The operation has tuned the catastrophe more for the Swat and Buner people instead of dismantling the networks of terroristsÂ", he added. |

| #1 When 70% or more of the Taliban are Pashtun, why shouldn't they be targeted? The LTTE attacked the government of Sri Lanka, which responded by attacking the LTTE (Tamils). They didn't attack the Sinhalese or any of the other minority groups that lived in Sri Lanka, only the Tamils. When the Pashtuns lay down their weapons and swear allegiance to their respective central governments, the military will quit attacking them. Until then, let the bloodshed continue. |
