IDPs protest PTI, PAT indifference to their plight in Bannu

BANNU: Internally displaced persons of North Waziristan staged a protest in Bannu on Friday against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri for hijacking media attention towards their protests in Islamabad.
IDPs in Bannu took out a protest rally from Milad Park, Bannu City and marched through various districts to the Bannu Press Club. The protesters held placards which were inscribed with slogans against K-P government, Imran Khan and Dr Tahirul Qadri.
Led by North Wazirstan Affected People Committee president Nisar Ali Khan, the protesters said that PTI and PAT had occupied Islamabad and started a sit-in for an indefinite time and that the move was hiding problems of the IDPs from the world. They termed sit-ins by both leaders as a drama.
The protesters demanded that the PTI chairman should remove ‘Khan’ from his name because he was not representing their interests. They argued that if he was a leader representing them, he would have been there with the IDPs rather than dancing and singing with a mob in Islamabad.
The speakers further claimed that relief items that were dispatched for the IDPs were being sold in the market openly.
Further, the IDPs claimed that they were being evicted from government schools without providing an alternate residence, and that they were being provided substandard food items. They claimed they were being fleeced for their domiciles and identity cards.

1: Why can't State Department STFU and leave our matters to us?
2: The people rallying for Nawaz Sharif today are Pakistan's ISIS. Go to their official facebook page and see it for yourself. Guys who waged a war on the Pakistani state, killed our soldiers, and named a 'liabrary' after Bin Laden are supporting the PM America is also supporting.
If anyone gets killed in Jhang by Nawaz Sharif's Salfi dogs, the responsibility will lie with him.
As per my news, his paltoo dogs are getting reorganized in the town. If it hits the fan in Jhang, it will make Quetta look like Zurich.

I fare from Jhang, therefore i know much more about ASWJ aka Sipah e Sahaba, aka Lashkar e Jhangvi, aka Azam Tariq group, aka Harkat-ul-Jihad than all of this forum COMBINED!
The very fact that your are presenting Ludhiyanvi (who is my dad's classmate friend'n therefore ive met him) as a reasonable commentator, says how primitive your undestanding is about these people marching for Nawaz while chanting Shia kafir, Shia kafir along the way.
If you being a seemingly educated guy wants a Pakistan of this sort than i have no hope for optimism.
