Abbottabad False applications and FIRs cannot harm us. We are law abiding people, neither extremists nor terrorists, we are only demanding our rights, which we will not back down from, said Umaydeen Bakot Shaukat Arbab Abbasi Taj Abbasi while speaking at the Abbottabad Press Club. Cadets Hafeez Abbasi and Zakir Abbasi said that if the promised work is not implemented before Eid, then the responsibility for the consequences will be on the GDA. DC Abbottabad and DPO Abbottabad are requested to resolve this serious issue immediately, otherwise the administration will be responsible for the entire situation.
The police station report and the threats of death and destruction by some traders of Galiyat who blocked our way, stopped our people’s business and caused great anger among the people of Bakot. Insha Allah, on Eid, a suitable course of action will be taken in consultation with all the people in different areas of the entire region and after Eid, there will be a big protest over the water source. The people of Galiyat are our brothers. Our elders gave water to Galiyat for drinking. We are standing by this but we cannot allow GDA to sell water. Our agriculture hydropower water supply schemes run from this water and the Garang Nala is the source of all this water. Finally, we demand that the administration investigate the false report against us. We strongly condemn the people of Galiyat who have made baseless allegations against us on social media and used hateful language and demand that legal action be taken against them. GDA employees have conspired to make the people of Galiyat and Bakot fight against each other. DG Galiyat Development and District Administration should conduct an inquiry and take immediate action against them.
