In a startling revelation and major embarrassment for Nawaz Sharif government, a Pashtun activist has alleged that Pakistan is using Pashtun women as sex slaves to fund terror camps in the area.
Umar Khattak, a Pashtun activist claimed that “Pakistan has kept hundreds of Pashtun girls in Lahore as sex slaves, kidnapped girls from SWAT and Waziristan”.
Talking about the atrocities, Khattak told ANI that “Pakistan Army bulldozed several of the houses, looted markets and raped women”.
“Pakistan has misled Pashtuns enough, now we won't be fooled. Pakistan wants to use the area for terror camps hence wants us to evict. We are forming a Pashtunistan liberation army, we will launch an armed struggle against Pakistan. This Pashtunistan liberation army will put an end to terror. We appeal to the global community to support us, said Khattak”.
