CHARSADDA: The killing of 27-year-old Naseemullah Mehsud, alias Naqeebullah, in an alleged police encounter on January 13 in Shah Latif Town sparked protests in Charsadda. A large crowd of Civil Society and other sectors of life held protest rally at Charsadda Press Club.
The protesters also chanted slogans against SSP Rao Anwar, a police officer often called an ‘encounter specialist’ who was allegedly behind the killing. The protesters also demanded an inquiry into the deaths of the many killed in ‘fake’ encounters by the Malir police chief. They demanded that the authorities take notice to stop extrajudicial killings of Pakhtuns living in Karachi by the police.
They stressed that tribal Pakhtun scarifies their lives against terrorism and the returns some so-called government official labeled them being a terrorist.
