PESHAWAR: Rawa flays HR record of Alliance leaders
Bureau Report
PESHAWAR, Dec 10: The Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan (Rawa) has demanded of the United Nations to extend its assistance and cooperation to Afghan people rather than to the leaders of Northern Alliance, who, it claimed, were involved in massacre of Afghan people.
Speaking to newsmen at the Peshawar Press Club on Tuesday, Veeda Mansur, a spokesman for the Rawa, alleged the component parties of the Northern Alliance had been involved in violation of human rights in Afghanistan.
She said mercenaries of various extremist organizations had been involved in killings, rendering hundreds of women and children widows and orphans.
Veeda Mansur said the Bonn conference deliberations had shattered all hopes of the Afghans and said its considered opinion was that only the former Afghan King, Zahir Shah, could unite the people and take the country out of prevailing chaos.
Ms Mansur said the Northern Alliance clique was not different than the Taliban in their approach towards women and children.
“Each year, on Dec 10, Rawa takes out a procession to mark the international human rights day and explains to the people human rights abuses and atrocities in Afghanistan. Today, we were proceeding towards Islamabad to submit a memorandum to the UN office, but the Frontier police stopped us at the Attock bridge and forced us to return,” she lamented.
Earlier, over 200 Rawa activists staged a demonstration in front of the Press Club and raised slogans against Gen Dostum, Mulla Omar, Khalili, Hikmatyar, Siyyaf and Rabbani.
N PML-LM: The provincial President of Pakistan Muslim League (Like Minded), Saleem Saifullah Khan, has appointed Mian Arif Bashir and Gulfam Jehangiri as provincial president and general secretary of PML Youth Wing, respectively.
According to a Press release issued here on Monday, the provincial president has directed the newly-appointed office-bearers to take charge of their duties and complete new membership at the earliest.
