'Kurram Agency admin has failed in averting sectarian clashes' |
2007-11-22 |
The Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians’ (PPPP) Parachinar chapter said on Wednesday that the political administration had completely failed in averting the sectarian clashes. In a press release, PPPP Parachinar President Syed Riaz Hussain Shah said some elements were disrupting the peace conspiratorially. Linking the unrest in Parachinar to the trouble in Swat, he said outsiders were responsible for disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the area. He rejected reports of people being slaughtered by the rival sects, and said those who were spreading such rumours were intentionally misleading the people. He said no one had been slaughtered. Blasting the killing of passengers travelling from Peshawar to Parachinar as a ‘dastardly act,’ the PPPP leader said the people of the area and the country should join hands to thwart the nefarious designs of those involved in conspiring against both, the local people and the country. He appealed to the religious scholars from both sects to intervene and stop further bloodshed for the sake of humanity. |
