QUETTA: The Balochistan government has imposed a ban on the entry of MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir in the province under the Maintenance of Public Order for a period of 90 days.
According to the notification, the entry of Dawar and fellow lawmaker Ali Wazir in Balochistan was banned for 90 days under the Balochistan Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960.
The notice, dated July 29, said that the ban on Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leaders had been imposed “in the best interest of public peace and safety”.
Meanwhile, Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) leader and Member of National Assembly Mohsin Dawar said he was stopped from leaving Quetta airport by authorities upon arrival in Balochistan’s capital on Friday.
On a social media website Twitter, Dawar said, “I have just landed in Quetta and I have been stopped from leaving the airport by security agencies”.
He further said, “I have been told that my entry to Balochistan has been barred again for 90 days. The state thinks it can break our resolve with such petty tactics. They can’t”, he added.

In March, Dawar and Wazir were stopped from boarding a Kabul-bound flight, as officials said that their names were on the no-fly list. They were going to Afghanistan to attend President Ashraf Ghani’s oath-taking ceremony.
