The PPP and opposition parties including the PTI and JUI-F condemned on Monday yesterday’s raid at Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP)\u2019s chairman and presidential candidate Mahmood Khan Achakzai’s house in Quetta.<\/p>\n

Condemning the raid in a presser yesterday, the\u00a0party’s central secretary general Abdul Rahim Ziaratwal announced a protest against the incident on Monday (today). He added that the PkMAP and its leadership could not be intimidated by such actions.<\/p>\n

Addressing the NA session today, the PkMAP chief\u00a0maintained that his house was raided for \u201ctalking about the supremacy of Parliament\u201d.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at today’s NA session, PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari condemned the raid, urging the prime minister to take notice of it. The PPP leader called for a prompt investigation and maintained that such attempts were unnecessarily making the presidential election\u00a0controversial.<\/p>\n
