Mr. Hassan Khan added that the march does not need external support and replies to Mr. Ghani implicitly that it is better to focus on Afghanistan instead of supporting the protests in Pakistan.
“We are patriotic Pakistanis and cannot allow anyone to interfere in our internal issues,” Mehmood Khan, a tribal elder who is supporting the protest, told Arab News.
President Ashraf Ghani on Friday voiced his support in favor of the protest in Pakistan by ethnic Pashtuns.
“I fully support the historical #PashtunLongMarch in Pakistan. The main purpose of which is to mobilize citizens against fundamentalism and terrorism in the region,” Ghani said in a tweet.
Pakistan’s tribesmen, who have been protesting since 1 Feb to seek justice for Naqeebullah Mehsud, have formally announced they will call off their sit-in after the government assured them in writing it will fulfil their demands within a month.
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has accepted two out of five demands put forth by the tribesmen including the arrest and bringing the accused Rao Anwar to justice as soon as possible, and clearance of land mines from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Meanwhile, Ata M. Noor said in response to the announcement of president Ghani for the Pashtun protests against that government that “As we do not like Islamabad intervenes in our internal affairs, they also do not like our interference.
