The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government wants to withdraw the case pertaining to a clash at a Kharqamar military checkpost against Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leaders and workers, it emerged on Friday.

The case was registered by the Counter-Terrorism Department, Bannu last year against multiple PTM workers for allegedly attacking a security checkpost on May 26 in the Kharqamar area. Three people were killed and 15 were injured, including five soldiers, in the clash. Senior PTM members and MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir were nominated in the case along with others.

On Friday, it emerged that an application — a copy of which is available with Dawn — was filed in a Bannu anti-terrorism court on March 16, saying that the government wished to withdraw the case, which was being heard in Abbottabad due to security reasons. The application was filed on behalf of the state through Bannu district public prosecutor and ATC Bannu's senior public prosecutor.

"The state/government as per instructions of the provincial government [...] with reference to the prevailing situation, we intend to withdraw prosecution of the subject case,” the application read.

An official at the court, who requested anonymity, also confirmed that the application has been filed. The court, however, has yet to fix a date for the hearing of the application.

Officials at KP prosecution department did not respond to requests for a comment on the matter.

The legal representative of Dawar and Wazir, Abdul Latif Afridi, who is a senior lawyer and president of the Peshawar High Court Bar Association also confirmed the move but said that his clients are yet to receive a copy of the application filed by the government.

Last month, the group accepted the government's offer for talks but called for confidence-building measures (CBM) to demonstrate sincerity. In a press conference last month, PTM chief Manzoor Pashteen had said that the government must take steps to bridge the trust deficit, adding that it was customary for parties to take CBMs before entering into talks.

Giving milk to snake assuming it won't attack you is foolish to say the least.

Seems like fake news by Dawn as usual. Lets wait for multiple sources or official word after that lets curse whoever did this en masse.

Just like MQM, they will create a Frankenstein and then will later drain resources killing it. I have lost all hopes with PTI and everyone else.

To be honest good to have less enemies. They will never be trusted now. Will stay in their place from now on.

Basically, much like Khadim Rizvi and every other anti-state movement; we’re seeing the limitations of the current government and the ability of the opposition to use such abilities to topple it. JUI is essentially full political support to PTM and has conveyed the same to establishment - and now PML(N) and PPP have thrown in their weight as well.

Unfortunately, the only option left after these internal enemies have colluded is “Hatyaar daal do!”
