Hazara leader Sardar Haider Zaman requested local representatives to join hands and struggle for a separate province.

ABBOTTABAD:

Tehrik-e-Suba Hazara leader Sardar Haider Zaman on Friday said that the people of Hazara cannot be denied their constitutional right of a separate province.

He said it is unfortunate that elected representatives of Hazara are opposing the movement for their own personal interests, and criticised the ANP for creating a divide in K-P due to its anti-Hazara policies. He also condemned the creation of Abaseen Division, consisting of Kohistan, Batagram and Torghrar districts, saying that the motive behind division was to “conspire against” the Hazarewals.

He said Hazara Division was rich in natural resources. However, the revenue from them was not being spent for the welfare of local people, He requested local representatives to join hands and struggle for a separate province.
