Nationalists, religious groups to protest CPEC land purchase


PESHAWAR: Strongly reacting to imposition of Section-4 of the Land Acquisition Act for acquiring land for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, nationalists and religious groups have announced they will launch a protest movement to force the federal government to withdraw its decision of purchasing land for the mega project.
This was announced during a joint news conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Wednesday.
Noted among the speakers were Pakhtunkhwa Olasi Tehreek chairman Dr Said Alam Mehsud, ANP-Wali provincial president Fareed Toofan, Awami Workers Party leader Fanoos Gujar and Tehreek Soba Hazara chief Baba Haider Zaman.
They said they would announce the schedule of rallies and public meetings soon to mobilise the people to pressure the government to grant KP and Fata due rights in the project.
