In a troubling incident on Wednesday, Mohsin Dawar, former Member National Assembly and Chairman of the National Democratic Movement, fell victim to an attack on his convoy in Tapi village, Miranshah, North Waziristan. The assault occurred while Dawar was on his way to Tapi as part of his election campaign.
Reports from the police indicate that unidentified assailants fired upon his convoy, resulting in damage to the front and side windows of Dawar’s vehicle.
Fortunately, Mohsin Dawar emerged unharmed, credited to the bulletproof features of his car. Following the attack, an application has been submitted to the Election Commission, urging the disqualification of both Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir.
Responding promptly to the situation, the police have taken measures to relocate Dawar to a secure nearby location. Concurrently, an intensive search for the attackers is underway to ensure they face legal consequences.
Mohsin Dawar, a representative of North Waziristan in the Pakistani Parliament and a founding member of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement, remains a prominent figure. The motives behind this attack remain unclear, prompting authorities to actively investigate the incident to determine the identities and motivations of the perpetrators.
As events unfold, apprehensions grow regarding the safety and security of political figures amidst the ongoing election campaigns in the region. The incident raises concerns about the need for enhanced measures to safeguard the well-being of those involved in the democratic process.
