National Democratic Movement Central President and former MNA Mohsin Dawar was taken into custody for a brief period in Quetta and then was sent back to Islamabad, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Mohsin Dawar was taken into custody from Quetta Airport by the security personnel and then put on a flight back to Islamabad.
Dawar was due to participate in a sit-in protest in Chaman
In a letter addressed to Dawar by the Quetta deputy commissioner, it was said that as per the SSP (operations), the former MNA had reached Quetta and that it had been learnt there existed a security threat. Dawar was then advised against holding any political gathering in Quetta and told to leave the city at the earliest.
Local authorities in Quetta and Chaman stopped me from participating in the protest in Chaman. A few weeks ago,I was not allowed to participate in our party's event in Bajaur.The playing field is being leveled for a few. We stand in solidarity with the Chaman sit-in.#ChamanSitIn pic.twitter.com/N2CubzjhSY

Sharing the same on his X account, the NDM president said a few weeks ago, he had not been allowed to participate in his party's event in Bajaur. "The playing field is being leveled for a few. We stand in solidarity with the Chaman sit-in," he added.
Strongly condemn how @mjdawar was stopped to attend a peaceful sit in. This undertaker government is making sure it uses all dictatorial regime tricks to prevent masses from participating in fair and free elections.
