Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has declared the end of nationwide sit-ins and protests in response to a peace agreement between warring factions in Kurram district. The demonstrations, which disrupted key locations in cities like Karachi and Islamabad, aimed to draw attention to the closure of the main highway in Parachinar. However, following the signing of a peace agreement where rival tribes agreed to surrender weapons and demolish bunkers, MWM has decided to halt its sit-ins.
The Beginning of the End
During a press conference in Islamabad, Allama Raja Nasir Abbas highlighted the dire situation in Kurram, comparing it to Gaza due to blocked roads causing severe hardships for the local population. He emphasized the lack of essential medicines and the resulting loss of lives, prompting MWM to step up and advocate for the oppressed people. Despite government inaction, the protests began from Karachi to Gilgit-Baltistan, aiming to bring attention to the crisis.
Calls for Accountability
Abbas criticized the violent suppression of the protests by the government and called out provincial leadership, including Sindh’s Chief Minister and Interior Minister. He demanded accountability and threatened legal action if PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto failed to investigate the violence. Urging swift implementation of the peace agreement, Abbas proposed keeping Kurram’s roadways closed until all terms were met.
A Human Touch
As a journalist covering this breaking news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of empathy for the people of Kurram who have been suffering due to the blocked roads. It’s heartbreaking to imagine the struggles they face without access to essential medicines and the loss of lives that could have been prevented. Allama Raja Nasir Abbas’s commitment to standing with these oppressed individuals is truly commendable, showcasing the power of peaceful protests in demanding justice and change. It’s a reminder that even in the face of adversity, unity and resilience can pave the way for a better tomorrow.
