Today, the Pashtun nation mourns the loss of a revered poet and activist from X-FATA, Waziristan. A prominent member of the Pashtun Protection Movement (PTM), he dedicated his life to advocating for the rights and protection of the Pashtun people. The movement, led by Manzoor Ahmad Pashteen, has been a beacon of hope and resilience for the community.

Tragically, our esteemed poet was attacked and severely injured in Islamabad, Pakistan. Despite his strength, bravery, and the immense hardships he endured for the sake of Pashtun protection, he succumbed to his injuries. His martyrdom is a profound loss, and his legacy of courage and unwavering commitment to justice will forever be remembered.
