Wheel-jam strike in Hazara over NWFP’s renaming:
LAHORE: Demonstrations against the proposed renaming of the NWFP as Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa continued in Hazara on Wednesday, forcing a complete wheel-jam strike in the region, a private TV channel reported. The wheel-jam strike was observed on an appeal by the Hazara Province Movement in various parts of the division, including Abbotabad, Mansehra and Havelian. The protesters placed burning tyres on the Karakoram Highway, blocking it for traffic for hours. Talking to reporters in Islamabad, Pakistan Muslim League (like-minded group) leader Salim Saifullah announced support for the ongoing protest in Hazara and demanded the government conduct a referendum on the issue. He said his group condemned the non-representation of women and minorities in the constitutional reforms committee. To a question regarding his group’s meeting with former president Pervez Musharraf in Dubai, he said such meetings were insignificant. daily times monitor
