An irresponsible attitude -letter
It is really regrettable that our public representative has attempted to create communal disharmony by his irresponsible and provocative speech. Opposition to the establishment of an educational institution in an area which badly needs quality education is clearly an inimical attitude toward our young generation.
The under question Professional Development Centre will impart professional training to teachers of Chitral, irrespective of their cast or creed as a regional branch of the Aga Khan University, Karachi which is purely a non communal Institution where all the meritorious students across the country are admitted We feel ashamed when such insane behavior is demonstrated by a religious cum political leader. How one can expect development in a backward locality like Chitral if, it is represented by such a narrow minded representative?
I think it is a political gimmick of our MPA with the approach of general elections. But such cheap tactics are old tested and the people of Chitral can not be befooled any more. The letters and articles appearing in the press unequivocally condemn the negative approach of our MPA and that makes it transparently clear that Chitralis are fully aware of the fact that such kind of sectarian rhetoric is harmful for the peace and development of their poor district and those who propagate such poisonous issues are not the well wishers of the people.
Here I should also appreciate the editorial of the ‘Chitral News’ for taking the issue seriously for the sake of our communal cohesion. I take the opportunity to quote the last sentence of the editorial, worthy of repetition a thousand times, �For the sake of humanity, Islam and the poor people of Chitral, we must realize that sectarianism is the enemy within us cleverly planted by the enemies of Islam so that we keep fighting ourselves and they keep laughing at us�.
We expect from the print and electronic media to do their best in discouraging such half educated political opportunists and preach unity amongst the peace loving people of Chitral.
