11 people have lost their lives in the Upper Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following clashes that erupted between two tribes in the region, ARY News reported on Saturday.
Pakistan, in its attempt to suppress dissent in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been orchestrating attacks and shellings, merely a day before the Pashtun National Jigra.
At least three people lost their lives, and many others were injured when Pakistani security forces raided a peaceful gathering of Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) event in Khyber district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on Wednesday.
In another attempt to mobilise state mechanisms for suppression of dissent, Pakistan has added the names of 52 individuals from various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the Fourth Schedule under Section 11EE of Pakistan's Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997.
These latest bans on the PTM have escalated the existing tensions between the movement and the government, highlighting deeper issues related to Pashtun rights and state authority in Pakistan.
In a statement, the PTI spokesperson said, "The mandate thieves only know how to issue statements, but they are actually busy fueling differences among provinces and oppressing citizens."
School teachers from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa organized protests to advocate for their demands, warning that they may shut down over 26,000 educational institutions, severely disrupting the province's education system.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Qaiser warned the government of nationwide protests if Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur is not released within 24 hours.
In addition to stoking rumors of his arrest, the sudden "disappearance" of fiery politician and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur raised numerous questions as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continued its demonstration in Islamabad for a second day on Saturday, Geo
