Last week, the PTM announced to form a ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ to address the plight of people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA.

Addressing a rally at Mochi Gate, PTM chief Manzoor Pashteen also announced two venues for future rallies, including one in Swat and the other in Karachi.“Now the country will witness the flux of people in Swat and later in Karachi on May 12,” he added. The date of May 12 has its own significance: this was the day in 2007 when an ethnic clash claimed the lives of scores of people.
