Tehreek-e-Hazara rejects Report

ABBOTTABAD – The central leadership of Tehreek-e-Hazara has strongly rejected the findings of Judicial Commission with reference to April 12 protests wherein as many as 13 persons lost their lives when they were demanding formation of Hazara province.
The Commission’s report, which has been bitterly criticised in the political and public circles of Hazara, held responsible the public, local administration, police and political leadership for violence on April 12. The report says that the protestors were killed as result of ‘cross firing’ between them and police. On the other hand, the Tehreek leaders say they fail to understand the ‘cross firing’ phenomena when all the deceased were protestors and not a single policeman lost his life.
Talking to TheNation, Quaid-e-Tehreek-e-Hazara Sardar Haider Zaman termed the April 12 killings as an event that exposed the malafide intentions of Awami National Party’s provincial government. “13 protestors killed but not a single policeman died and yet it was a cross firing case! Does it make any sense? Those who lost their lives were totally unarmed and helpless.
The ANP government, their ‘touts’ in local administration, and PML-N, all of them are responsible for the killings,” he said.
Zaman said that local administration imposed section 144 in the city while the Peshawar police wrecked havoc by killing 13 innocent protestors. He slammed the role of Nawaz Sharif who had called a ‘party convention’ the same day (April 12) to add fuel to fire. “All of them were in a malicious nexus to sabotage the peaceful movement,” he added categorically rejecting the Commission’s findings that accuse people and local political leadership towards violence on the eve of April 12 protests.
