Shams Buneri also contributed. Shams Buneri, who after graduating from Jahanzeb College of Swat, became a teacher in his village school, at that time, Swat was the governor of Swat. The educated republican youth of Swat started a secret movement for the liberation of Swat against the governor of Swat, Shams Buneri was also a part of it. When the Tehreek took force against the governor of Swat, some people settled in Peshawar. During this period, the young Shams met Ajmal Khattak and Arbab Sikandar Khan Khalil. Rather, all the Pashtun convicts appeared. Shams said that in his meeting with Ajmal Khattak, he gave me a "Da Ghairat Chagha" his book of Pashto poetry, and this book created a feeling, of excitement, pain, and unrest in me. I did not know how to express this. I sing, but sometimes I will express myself in the language of poetry. After the end of Swat state, when political activities started in Swat, in 1970, Shams joined the National Awami Party and was elected the secretary of the Buner region. Shams, He participated in the elections of 1970 and when the Pakistan Army invaded Bangladesh, he wrote a long poem against it. Based on the London conspiracy case, when NAP was banned, he was in Swat. After some time, Afzal Khan Lala, the leader of Swat, was released on bail.
Then, when Bhutto overthrew the government of Balochistan and the government of Pakhtunkhwa resigned in protest, the NAP started a movement against Bhutto's central government. An organization called Pashtun Zalmi was activated in Swat, Afzal Khan Lala was elected as its leader and Shams Buneri became a member of its advisory council. At this time, the arrest process was started at a very high level, the arrest of Shams was also ordered, but according to the instructions of the party, Shams was doing the task of organizing "Pashtun Zalmi" and at one time it happened that at one time his Twenty members of the family were arrested, including his eighty-year-old father and eight-year-old brother. He went to Afghanistan with his friends. After martial law was imposed in 1977, when their trials were over, Shams and his friends went back to the village.
After the revolution in 1978, differences arose in the National Democratic Party about the revolution, so Shams was among the progressive people who supported the revolution and joined the new party called Pakistan National Party under the leadership of Bizenjo. He was elected as a member of the party's central committee. In the year 1978, when Shams Buniri, Latif Afridi, and Sattar Lala passed the resolution of close alliance with Afghanistan in a labor conference in Charsadda, they were arrested by the military regime and Shams Buniri was imprisoned for six months. After he was released from prison in 1979, he was again named as an accused in the Kabul conspiracy case and Shams was shown as the main accused. Then he went to Afghanistan, returned to Pakhtunkhwa in March 1981, and was arrested again in August.
Shams studied political science and philosophy at Peshawar University and later joined Khyber College to practice law at Peshawar University in 1984. During this period, he started efforts to vote for Pashtun nationalist progressive students, but the Islamic Jamaat Talaba made a noise about his political efforts, saying that Shams' political efforts are for the benefit of communism and the ground is being prepared for Socialist Revolution. He was declared an enemy of Islam and Pakistan. As a result, after a few months, he was arrested by the government on charges of bomb blast and the military court sentenced him to fourteen years in prison and twenty lashes. After the government announced a general amnesty for political prisoners, then he was released.
After some time, Shams returned to Afghanistan during Dr. Najib's government, he had meetings with Dr. Najib, emphasized the national reconciliation process of Dr. Najib, and condemned Pakistan's intervention in Afghanistan. After the disaster in Afghanistan, he came back to Pakhtunkhwa and started advocating politics. At one time, he remained a political and ideological friend of Ajmal Khattak and followed the nationalist line until his death with the Awami National Party.
He was a committed comrade till his death.
