Qazi not allowed into Bajaur Agency

KHAR: Bajaur Agency political authorities on Tuesday stopped Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad from entering the agency. Qazi reportedly wanted to condole the deaths of the people killed in an air raid on a madrassa in Bajaur Agency on Monday. “We have orders from the top to not allow you into Bajaur Agency,” a senior government official at a checkpoint told Qazi, who managed to slip into the area regardless. Authorities chased Qazi and stopped him after he had gone four kilometres into the restricted area. Qazi addressed a gathering there, condemning the federal government for banning politicians and journalists from visiting the attack site. MMA leader Sirajul Haq, who resigned as senior NWFP minister after the Bajaur strikes, accompanied Qazi. Earlier, Mohmand Agency political authorities stopped MMA legislators Maulana Mohammad Saddiq, Hafiz Rashid Ahmad and Maulana Shujaul Mulk from entering the agency. staff report
