Bilour calls PTI Waziristan march a 'drama'
The PTI had stated that the peace march was important to show international media and human rights organisations the reality of the situation in South Waziristan and highlight the destruction caused by drone attacks.
Bilour stated that the provincial government was democratic and will not resist the rally.
He further said that the government was ready to hold talks with militants who shun terrorist activities.
“The ANP government had talked to them but they challenged the government’s writ and entered into Buner district from Swat,” he said.
Govt denies permission
PTI Secretary General Dr Arif Alvi tweeted on October 3 saying that the government had denied permission to the party to hold a peace march in Waziristan.
In his tweet, Dr Alvi said that the government had refused permission saying that it was impossible for 100,000 people to enter the area due to security concerns.

Mr. Bilour is right in calling PTI March as drama. PTI has never protested the killing of thousands of Pashtun elders and other civilians in tribal areas, Afghanistan, Pakhtunkhwa who were brutally killed at the hands of the strategic assets. ANP is the vanguard against the state-sponsored extremism in Pashtun areas. If Imran Khan is honest with Pashtuns, he should compel the military establishment to give up its anti-Pashtun policies.
I can hear see some cheap remarks about ANP, but the fact is that ANP has neither lost moral support nor political as desipite facing the challenge of taliban (who pti supports), they have done unprecendented developments especially in education and infrastructure. Please dont be misled by those sponsored and flawed surveys. As regards taliban, they r the same people who slaughtered hundreds of innocent people in swat; where was IK at that time. Negotiation with taliban as a solution is the policy of anp from day 1. But we saw the result in swat. After peace agreement they captured Buner and were planning to take over swabi and then march towards hazara and islamabad. So let us come out of the fools' paradise and face the hard challenge realistically.
ANP = Born in the lap of Gandhi ANP= Russia brought it up ANP = currently enjoying the honeymoon with Uncle Sham
Dear Mr. BaBA bILOOOOOR,
At least he is trying to project the issue in a decent way and is risking his life. you people don't have even bothered to highlight this cause. u call yourself representatives of Pushtuns and when Russia was killing us, u were standing beside them and calling Mujahideen as terrorist and when America is firing drones, you, Zarari and Gilani are all endorsing it. I am not his voter but at least he has a soft corner for Pushtuns and if he succeeds in holding a peaceful really in Wazirstan, it will be land mark achievement. And also show some self respect by at least not coming before cameras with ur dusty faces and diluted policies, please.
Yes Mr. Bilour, we all know where you come from. I have seen your daughter in law building cafe(s) on govt properties. Being a minister of the local government, you have designated one of your men at each and every department of the KPK to collect commissions for you in every tender that goes out. Lets not even discuss anything about your "Lala."
I am not a big fan of Imran but I can see how the media is targeting him (we all know why)
ANP lost all its moral support among the Pashtune as this party do politics in their name but whenever any foreign power came to attack or occupy pashtune , they supported them e.g. the sovieth union in the past and now america.PTI popularity is growing very fast in KPK and they are realy worried about it. Imran khan has spoken a lot for the pashtune and now the people of KPK are overwhelmingly support PTI. Well done Imran khan
Isn't he same the guy who offered the bounty last week? If so, he like the limelight more than anyone else.
This comes from a person whose brother has proceeded to dismantle the Pakistan Railways for their own selfish motive of earning money from the trucking empire they own.
i totally agree with ANP, its a drama by PTI because ANP has already talked with militants but they break their promises so imran khan is doing nothing new. if he is really worried abt pakhtoons so he should go to president house or GHQ to strike down the drones and also pressurise them to seriously eliminate the extremists
@watch out He is brother of Anti Railway Bilour.
Dear 'Watch out' above, this is a different Bilour, he's not the railways minister. Its sad how little our TV-watching 'mainstream' Pakistan have conspiracy theories ready but know so litte about KP and Fata.
This coming from a man who has singlehandedly ruined Pakistan Railways to satisfy his financiers by Truckers Mafia. Sir better you retire than advise others how to run their affairs.
"Bilour calls PTI Waziristan march a 'drama'" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All the worlds a stage and most of us under rehearsed.
As long as we have "hyper-active" and "unbiased" media like ET, we will keep hearing such "historical" statements from these politicians who will do/say anything just to satisfy their lust of power.
Try doing it yourself first, then talk.
Yes They have the better script writer than ANP, i think
seems like anp is worried about their popularity in kpk.
Yeah...ANP should talk...!
