Parachinar Muslims and their Worsening Plight
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
Ramadhan is the month of spiritual glories, with the Divine banquet spread out for not just the fasting Muslims but also believers and even non-believers.
The All-Merciful Lord has designated it as a springtime of the Holy Qur’an and its heavenly message to refine and reform human beings in order to create a fraternal spirit among all sections of the Ummah.
For the terrorists, however, Ramadhan or any other month has no meaning. Their devilish desire is to pose as Muslims to kill Muslims, even those praying in mosques, as part of their mission to promote so-called communal tendencies.
These dastardly murderers, on the payroll of the Zionists and US imperialists, are unfortunately spreading a trail of terror in some Muslim lands, especially in Syria, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
They love to harass, persecute, and slaughter Muslims, and this is more evident in certain parts of Pakistan where these organized criminals have laid siege to the scenic land of Parachinar.
The day befoe yesterday after the weekly Friday Prayer, there was a huge demonstration by girl students of Parachinar for lifting of the several-month long blockade conn.ecting their cities and towns with the rest of the country.
The girl students, joined by their parents converged on a road on the outskirts of the city holding placards and expressing frustration over the lack of school supplies.
They pointed out that textbooks and uniforms were unavailable, and that two trucks carrying educational materials had been set on fire by the terrorists.
The protesters highlighted the severe fuel shortage, which they said was preventing both students and teachers from reaching educational institutions.
They demanded the immediate reopening of the main road to enable access to the rest of the country, and complained the inadequate weekly convoy of supplies, which they said was insufficient for the needs of millions in the area.
The question that arises is that, why is the central government in Islamabad reluctant to crush the terrorists? Why is it merely escorting a few trucks of basic data-x-items for few days while the majority of trucks held up on the highway are waiting for permission and safe passage?
Permission from whom? Of course, from the terrorists and the sectarian tribes that harbour them.
Is the national government so week and has allowed itself to be blamed for step-motherly attitude towards segments of its own citizens, since the terrorist leaders have connection with politicians, and through them with the Zionists and the Americans?
These are the questions that Islamabad should ponder over and resolve for the sake of humanity, Islam, and the month of Ramadhan, in view of the fact that hundreds of innocent people were killed over the past five months because of un-Islamic tensions.
It is now time for firm action for opening of The Thall-Parachinar road, the main road connecting Parachinar to the rest of the country, and of course, urgent measures to make functional the Parachinar airport that is currently not operating its regular flights to Peshawar.
