Cpec Concerns: ‘Centre being unfair to Pukhtuns’
Begum Wali said the Pukhtun people have been suffering from militancy for a long time
CHARSADDA:
ANP-W leader Begum Naseem Wali Khan said CPEC is a game-changing project for K-P and Balochistan. However, unfortunately, both the provinces are not receiving their due share, which is the “economic murder of Pukhtoon nation”, she said. Begum Wali made these observations while talking to The Express Tribune at her residence in Charsadda on Saturday. She said the Pukhtun people have been suffering from militancy for a long time. “Bacha Khan and Wali Khan (the founder of ANP-W) always fought for Pukhtuns, but were pegged as traitors by the rulers. Even now, if anyone raises their voice for the Pukhtuns, they are called a traitor.”
