Pakistan: PTM members demonstrate in KP against acquittal of Rao Anwar in Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case
Swat: The members of Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) staged rallies in different districts of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region on Wednesday over the acquittal of former SSP of Malir district Rao Anwar in Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case, media reports said.
Demonstration was held outside the press club in Swat.
The protest was led by president of PTM local chapter Mir Inam Khan. The demonstration was addressed by Waqif Khan, Aftab Khan, Abid Jan, Samiul Haq, Dr Khalid Mehmood and Advocate Ataullah Jan, reports Dawn News.
During the demonstration, protesters were seen holding placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the release of Rawo Anwar and 17 other suspects in the murder case.
“We are not against the state, but against the wrong decision of the state institutions. We will not tolerate such injustice and wrong decision by any court,” the demonstrators were quoted as saying by Dawn News.
“We do not know as to why illegal treatment is meted out to Pakhtuns. We do not know our sin. Why were we being targeted,” they questioned.
