Taliban rule’: Pakistanis fume after police violently disrupt Pashtun singer’s concert
New Delhi: Disruption of Violence from a Personal Concert Singing Pashtun has caused public anger in Pakistan, with some say the attack threatens the identity of Pashtun and places the Peshawar police on the same footprint as the Taliban.
On Friday night, Pashtun singer, poet and Bachelor Dr. Karan Khan appeared at a marriage in Nazirabad in Khyber Province Pakhtunkhwa, when the police stormed the venue who claimed to act on complaints by scholars and locals.
According to the police, local scholars and environmental residents opposed the show because they were held in Shab-I-West, which were celebrated on the 14th or 15th day of Sha’ban, the eighth month of the Islamic calendar.
But if the news report and video incident is something that must be passed, the police do more than just stop the event. The video video that conducts rounds on social media shows the stage left with damaged chairs and instruments.
Dilshad Afridi, at the house of whose marriage took place, quoted by the Fajar newspaper said, “We have gathered on March 18 nights to celebrate my friend’s wedding with Karan Khan appearing for around 100 guests,” added, “the police suddenly raided the venue, persecuting Guests and break the instrument. “
Express Tribune reported that Peshawar police released a press record with claims that they acted on complaints of religious students “angry”. Khan and other musicians were taken to the police station and then released, allegedly protecting them from students and scholars.
Some armed men were also detained by the police about accusations featuring weapons. Musicians and singers were allowed to leave the police station,” said press release.
