Recently, there's been a repeated uproar from Pashtun nationalists claiming that whole of north Punjab, essentially the entire Potohar region, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Mianwali, Attock, Chakwal and Jhelum, basically everything up till the Jhelum River is historically "Pashtun" land should be returned back and incorporated into their supposed "Pashtunistan" state and openly show them in their offical maps. Their leaders are also now openly repeating this claim in National Assembly, Jirgas and TV.

The reason they're so confident is the massive influx of Pathans, especially tribals, into these areas. North Punjab has been the most vulnerable to this migration, and the demographic change is already obvious.

This mass migration isn’t only limited to North Punjab. The only reason Lahore hasn’t felt the same effect is because of migration from the rest of Punjab due to being provincial capital, but we in Pindi and Islamabad don’t have that protection.

If nothing is done there will be mass ethnic riots in North Punjab in coming years like in Karachi throughout last 30 years.

Curious to hear what this sub thinks about this.

In yet another recent incident in Lahore, a man visited a market with his spouse and other family members for shopping. A group of Pathan shopkeepers allegedly began harassing the family and passed vulgar remarks, including comments like, “Your wife’s body is very attractive, leave her here with us.”

When the man tried to protect his wife, all the pathan shopkeepers in market reportedly united into a mob and brutally murdered him with axes.

It turns out that the teenage boy Zain who was lynched, dead body mutilated and dragged through the streets in Rawalpindi by a mob of around 50 Tribal Pathans, was innocent according to the latest police report. The actual murderer is another individual named Aun Chaudhary.

After police arrested some perpetrators, including women involved in the torture, whole Pathan community of Pindi mobilized with mutiple Jirgas and riot threats, pressurizing authorities to release them by playing "the ethnic and women card." Meanwhile whole Pathan community on all social media platforms were celebrating the outcome as a victory against "Tor Punjabiyan."
