PML-Q blamed for Hazara violence

PESHAWAR: NWFP information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain came down hard against the PML-Q, accusing it of inciting violence in the Hazara region.

Talking to the media, Iftikhar Hussain accused former National Assembly speaker Gohar Ayub Khan of blaming the PML-N for stoking the violence.

He said Gohar Ayub's allegation of the PML-N having provoked locals against the PML-Q are baseless. Iftikhar Hussain appealed to all parties to settle the issue by talks and not take to the streets. He also said a committee has been formed with members from Hazara Division to review the situation.
