The Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) held a mammoth rally in
Bannu district despite administrative hurdles that have now become a routine for the rights movement, given its critical stance towards state institutions. The rally was attended by men and women from the Pashtun heartland, thereby demonstrating support for the movement outside the tribal districts.
Mainstream
media once again blacked out coverage of the rally.
Twitterati appear outraged about this situation for the past 24 hours. Social
media users have also been asking why there was not even a modicum of coverage despite the attendance of MNAs Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar.
With the exception of
Dawn, no
media group took up the event.
