Protestors block Karakoram highway

Please note that Hazara is not just a “city” as mentioned in the caption of the picture.
and this is not the second day of strike.

All this protest started last monday. Abbottabad City observed a complete wheel-jam strike on monday April 5, 2010.
Then on APril 7 2010 there was a shutter-down strike. Unfortunately, since both of these strikes were peaceful, they did not get their due share of coverage on television/print media.

Now that people have learnt that human sacrifice is necessary for attracting media towards their sufferings, I congratulate all on this round the clock coverage of a fire fuelled by politicians from Gujrat.

We are proud of Pakistani Media.Recommend

ANP agenda to win election was to change the name of province and mislead the people of NWFP and came to power and now see what is the next.
The previous Govt the agenda was Book and the gave it the name of Holy book and won the election result is in fornt of us.

For how long our politicians will play with people to remain in power and make us fool.

Now what in hazara ,Q leauge is using this opertunity and making people fool. I think this time people must realise that all politicians are using people of Pakistan for there sake.

I wish i was at press confrence of so called Chowdery in Hazara and thrown rotten eggs and tomatos , that today he came to his sake , where was he when he was in power to solve genuie issues.

Now time has come to show these few players a lesson.We want basic needs instead making then more powerful.

ANP ,now dont have any thing on which they can take stand on.They changed the name and now what?They will spent billion of ruppes on stationary and on motorcar plates , registration books and so on to put new name.
I wish GOD given then brain that if they spent this money to improve the ordnary people living.One Dam can be made from this money ,instead wasting on this stupid issue.
I request USA that if they give us money then also put stirct check and balance on these stake holders and never trust them blindly. More than 50% donation goes directly to them .

ANP also sugested the Pashto Syllabus in schools. i simply ask them to write 1 —-100 in pashto purely or say any table in pashto or write 1/4 in pashtoo. i ask the media anchor to ask them live.
How many of ANP leaders childern can read/write pashto.
They are gone mad. our education system already is on edge of distrcution rather to improve it they are giving it push to the garve.

I suggest all media whether print or electronic to show in real as they say always that they are voice of people of pakistan to bycot the polititions from the programe. people now dont want to see them. they have nothing to say only blaming each and sorry to say our media also using them for there benefits. People want to see now how much media is loyal to People of pakistan.Recommend

well its a matter of great concern as Poeple from hazara Suffered alot the government should compansate them…Provisional government should have consulted the people of Hazara About Changing the Name of the province,,,Recommend

perhaps its no time for provincial division , its time for cohesionRecommend

ANP has its own secular philosophy.Their each act must be observed deeply and you would come to know what are they upto.
And why in the world would someone shoot at people who want to record their protest.Shame on government and shame on administration of hazara division.Recommend

Majority of ANP office bearers are busy in coloring their hate and discrimination towards other non pashtoons in a sophisticated way by dirty politics of blackmailing and hiding the truth. They not only defame the legacy of Bacha khan and show their greedy ambitions towards others right.
On other hand Hazara Province movement arise after realizing ANP agenda of hate, discrimnation, considering themself superior and depriving other on linguistic basis. They realy pushed more then half non Phuston papulation of Province to wall by taking their identity.
The Hazara movement is led by Sardar Haider Zaman who was EX minister and EX District Nazim posses extra ordinary qualities of loving with poors, standing for other right and straight forward with out political intrests. In his governance tenor he refused to get any salary and other perk & perviligies from government account. Here is fight between believe, faith and hate, discrimination. Let see who will win the dividing ruling class or the belief of saint with other political wolfs.Recommend

I think its bad events have been occured due to nigligence of ANP & PML(N). these two parties are responsible of all that matter. It is required to establish more provences. there should be eight provences of pakistan. each provence should be devibed in two parts not only punjab & NWFP.Recommend

TheViolence was not created by people, provincial government and the police administration is responsible for all thisRecommend

If every buddy start demanding making their province then be ready we’re gonna have out of 100 provinces…atleast government should have asked the society people before naming the province.

Hazara people should only protest against the name e.g. PAKHTOONKHAW instead of demanding of new province.Recommend

i think the government should pay the attention towards these ongoing protests in the way it is required and, ANP and MULLIM LEAGUE (Q) should stop thier controversies by talking about the new provincesRecommend

Salam Pakistan.I am hazarawal and at this time we hazarawal are very very upset because our identity has snatched by ANP.Every one knows that IDENTITY is the base of each thing,and without identity no one can live.New name Khyber Pakhtoonkha was the agenda of ANP.
Sooba Hazara bn k rhe gaRecommend

Provincial governtment is responssible for this bloodshed in Hazara and we want high ups to take serious action against the police officials involved in this act of firing on the innocent and unarmed protestersRecommend

this is realy a pain giving incident.this issue may be solved through academic debate and diologue.govt should not use force. protest may be peacefull.such issues take time to be settled.Recommend
