Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party Chairman Khushal Khan Kakar Calls for Struggle to Change Pashtun Fate

Qila Saifullah:Khushal Khan Kakar, Chairman of the Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party (PNA), has emphasized that according to the teachings of the Quran, a nation’s fate can only be changed if the people make efforts to change it. He urged the Pashtun Afghan community to be ready for every form of struggle to transform their state of oppression, poverty, and unemployment. He shared these thoughts during his tour of Qila Saifullah, where he addressed various integration gatherings and Jirgas (tribal councils) in Tobli Khisor, Nawur Rod Jogezai, and Kandar Jalalzai.

The gathering was attended by party leaders, including central secretary chairman Allah Noor Khan, provincial deputy secretary and municipal committee chairman Syed Akbar Khan Kakar, and central committee members like Sardar Muhammad Asif Khan Sargah, Sardar Allah Yar Khan Jogezai, Shams Roodwal, Nizam Khan Kakar, Sardar Manaf Khan Jogezai, Malik Mubeen Khan Batuzai, and regional secretary Nematullah, among others.

Earlier, when Khushal Khan Kakar and other party leaders arrived in the area, they were warmly welcomed with a long procession of cars and motorcycles that escorted them to the rally site. The crowds showered them with flower petals, chanting slogans like “Milli Shaheed, Milli Shaheed Zindabad,” “Pashtoonistan Zindabad,” “Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party Zindabad,” “Chairman Khushal Khan Kakar Zindabad,” and “Joint Chairman Mukhtar Khan Yousafzai Zindabad.”

In his speech, Khushal Khan Kakar thanked the people for their support in the NA-251 constituency (Sherani, Zhob, Qila Saifullah), where they voted in large numbers for the Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party. He expressed his appreciation for the public’s support, which led to a true victory, despite the state institutions of the country imposing fraudulent representatives via Form 47. He emphasized that these representatives are unacceptable to the proud Pashtun community.

He also warmly welcomed the new members joining the party, appreciating their decision to strengthen the Pashtun national movement and Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party. He criticized certain elements who have exploited the name of Islam to gain votes, only to turn into billionaires through corruption and commissions, while failing to deliver on promises of Islamic teachings or meeting the basic needs of the people.

Khushal Khan Kakar highlighted the severe problems faced by Pashtunkhwa, including extreme unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, hunger, and terrorism. He condemned the deterioration of public services, with government educational institutions and hospitals nearly destroyed. He pointed out that the children are deprived of education, and healthcare services are almost nonexistent.

He also noted the impact of the country’s institutional policies, particularly the armed aggression and interference in Afghanistan, which have turned Pakistan into a security state. Today, Pashtunkhwa is under the grip of terrorists, with no safe roads, and artificial terrorism has led to the destruction of Pashtun Afghan cities and towns. Thousands have been displaced, and the region is being pushed into violence again through military operations, aiming to plunder valuable resources worth trillions of dollars.

Khushal Khan Kakar criticized the colonial policies of Islamabad and Lahore, which have historically deprived the proud Pashtun Afghan nation of all privileges while promoting the development of Punjab. He reiterated that the Pashtunkhwa National Awami Party is committed to securing Pashtun national sovereignty and control over regional resources, and it will not hesitate to make any sacrifice for this cause.

He urged party workers to tirelessly work to spread the party’s message, recruit more people into its ranks, and launch a campaign to inform the public about the party’s program.
