Protest over Parachinar issue in Karachi irks Shazia Marri
Shazia Marri, a senior leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), has condemned the use of the Parachinar issue for political gain in Sindh, calling it an injustice to the people of the province.
Speaking at a press conference in Karachi, Marri expressed concerns over the deteriorating situation in Parachinar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. She said, “The situation in Parachinar is alarming, and when I see the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, I am reminded of WWE.”
Marri accused the provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of failing to take action, adding that despite efforts from the governor to resolve the issue—by calling an All Parties Conference (APC)—the provincial government had refused to attend.
“We held an APC, with 16 to 17 parties participating, but the provincial government did not come,” she said.
She further emphasised, “We stand with the people of Parachinar, but it is unjust to trouble the people of Sindh. If you have an issue in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, go there and raise your voices outside the CM House.”
Meanwhile, protests continue in Karachi, with the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen holding sit-ins at 12 locations in response to the Parachinar incident. These protests have led to severe traffic disruptions, increasing difficulties for citizens.
