Top politician flays Soomro’s remarks against Pushtoons

QUETTA: Noted tribal and political leader, Sardar Manzoor Ahmed Khan Kakar, while condemning derogatory remarks of ex-Senator and leader of JUI-F Rashid Mehmood Soomro about Pushtoon nation, said Sunday that passing such hateful remarks by the leader of one religious party against Pushtoon race was total negation of the JUI-F constitution.

In a statement, he said that the language used by Rashid Mehmood Soomro in his live video message about Pushtoon race was tantamount to fanning hatred and enmity between Sindhis and Pushtoon nations.

He said that Moulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, Chief of JUI-F, himself belonged to Nasar tribe of Pushtoon nation, adding that it was fact which could not be denied that Nasar tribe also migrated from Afghanistan. He said that Rashid Mehmood Soomro should tender apology over the remarks he passed against Pushtoon nation.
