I'm still APML Chitral general secretary: Fazlur Rehman

BOONI, May 2: The suspended general secretary of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML), Mr Fazlur Rehan, along with his supporters here revolted against the decision of the party’s provincial leadership to remove him from the post. APML upper Chitral president Kashafat Anis, APML tehsil Mastuj president Sultanul Mulk, party ticket holder for the district council Syed Sardar Hussain and Muslim League’s founding member Charvelo Abdul Hakim were also present on the occasion. It may be noted that the APML Khyber Pakhtunkha two days ago issued a notification appointing a youth, Syed Nasir Ali Shah, as the general secretary of the APML Chitral.

He said only the workers of the party had the right to remove him from the post. He said a man sitting in Peshawar named as Aurangzeb Muhammad, who claims to be the provincial president of the APML, had no right to take such a decision. He said the APML neither has a provincial nor central councils. He said that the APML was popular only in Chitral, especially in upper Chitral and had it even existed in other parts of the country it would have taken part in the recently concluded cantonment elections. Mr Rehman said that the people of Chitral were with APML chief Pervez Musharraf and voted for the party in the 2013 elections. He said that under a conspiracy ex-MPA Ghulam Muhammad was defeated in the recounting of votes and then forced to leave the party. Similarly, he added, now under a conspiracy he had been shown the door in order to eliminate the APML even from Chitral. Mr Rehman said the people of Chitral loved Musharraf and would foil the conspiracies to damage the party. Mr Rehman said as the APML had its vote bank only in upper Chitral, it meant that the APML supporters were behind him. About the MoU on Shandur, the APML leader said that the people of upper Chitral would not allow anyone to compromise of the rightful property of Chitral. He said the polo festival or any other game was not important at the cost of Chitral’s ownership on the land. The people of Chitral have cattle pens and other buildings at Shandur and it would be insult to them to allow outsiders to sit in them. Charvelo Abdul Hakim said he had been associated with the Muslim League since 1946 and have been voting for the party along with his whole Biradari. “Now I have come to know that I have been removed from the post of the party president. If this decision is not taken back I along with my Biradari would have no other option but to leave the party,” he added.
