Hazara Province demand and agitation

Hazara province demand occurred just after presentation of 18th amendment by constitutional committee. And it was relatively less projected as long as at least 13 people were killed and several got bullet injuries by brutal police firing on public protest. There was a lot of anger and voilent sentiments against loss of lives. Dormant leadership of Hazara came on scene without any clear goal and motive in mind. They were just following the vast majority of people.

Historically Hazara province demand can be traced by very local leadership but it was never appreciated publicly of by top leadership of Hazara.
There are two main points that caused separate province demand to be publicly acceptable.

• No consultation with leadership of Hazara division during the journey from NWFP to Khyber Pakhtunkwa
• Brutal police firing on public protest

Adding oil to fire ANP leadership adopted totally local centric attitude. None of them visited Hazara division during all this time and it is an firmly believed by local community in Hazara division that ANP is just there to exploit Hazara resources and to favor its Pakhtun area. Currently this issue is once again some what inactive but it would be lot more dangerous if activated again. Following steps may be taken to bridge the gaps between two mentalities of same province.

• There should be a proper inquiry for straight firing on unarmed public protest. And justice should be visible to people even if some ANP leadership is involved in it.
  
• ANP should communicate with local leadership and it should arrange a CM visit to Abbottabad as soon as possible.
• ANP should prohibit some of its non sensed leaders like Bilor brothers to issue any statement at media. They have already complicated the situation.
