Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir.
Two Pakistani parliamentarians and human rights campaigners who were set to travel to Kabul on Sunday to attend President Ashraf Ghani's swearing-in ceremony said that they were barred by their government at the airport.
The two lawmakers, Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar, who also leaders of Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM), were at Peshawar airport when they were barred from leaving for Kabul.
“We are going back as we were not allowed to fly to Kabul. FIA told us quite explicitly that the military has barred us from leaving the country,” Dawar said on Twitter referring to the Federal Investigation Agency is a border control, criminal investigation, counter-intelligence and security agency.
“This is what elected Pashtun MNAs (Members of National Assembly) have to go through in Pakistan. This is the fate of an elected Pashtun representative in Pakistan,” he said.
“Sending best wishes to Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on his re-election & thanks to all the Afghans who invited us and those who were waiting to welcome. Also thanks to the Afghan Ambassador in Pakistan Atif Mashal for his efforts to resolve this issue,” Dawar said.
President Ghani’s second-term inauguration is scheduled to be held tomorrow (Monday).
