Swat residents warn of vigilantism if terror activities not reined in
2022-10-08
[Dawn] A large number of people erupted into the streets in Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
on Friday demanding of the government to take decisive action against "anti-peace elements" in the valley while warning that they might take up arms to tackle bandidos gunnies if the authorities failed to play their due role.

The demonstrators gathered at Matta Chowk in the Khwazakhela tehsil of Swat this afternoon. It was the sixth protest by the locals since the resurfacing of the terror activities in the month of August.

The protest was jointly organised by two local organizations — Swat Olasi Pasoon and Swat Quami Jirga. A large number of people, including the youth and elders, with leaders of different political parties excepting the PTI took part in the protest.

The protesters said they would no longer tolerate terror activities as well as the presence of bandidos gunnies in the valley. They also called out the government for allegedly blocking internet in most parts of Swat.

"The law enforcement agencies and the state institutions must keep in their minds that the people of Swat are peace loving and they will never tolerate terrorism on their land in any form and by anyone," said PkMAP leader, Sher Bahadar, as he addressed the protesters.
