Naqeebullah Mehsud case: Reham Khan participates in Islamabad sit-in protest
Reham Khan claimed that the sit-in protest would not end until the bereaved family is given justice.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Sit-in protest of tribal elders in the federal capital continued on Saturday with more people joining in including television personality Reham Khan to bring perpetrators of slain Naqeebullah Mehsud to justice.
Mehsud was gunned down by Sindh Police earlier this month in Karachi with then Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Malir area, Rao Anwar claiming the slain man to be a terrorist. However, an inquiry report into the incident revealed that Mehsud had no terror links.
SSP Anwar who was suspended in the following days and has ‘absconded’ was accused by locals and friends of late Mehsud of having demanded extortion money from him before he was killed in a ‘fake encounter’.
A sit-in protest led by tribal elders, demanding justice for Mehsud is continuing for past days in the federal capital.
Television personality Rehman Khan joined the protesters today and while talking to the media, she said that the protest over extrajudicial killing of Mehsud is for a bigger cause and condemned alleged media blackout of the protest.
She alleged mainstream media of partisanship by saying that issues of the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) are not covered.
She said that Pashtoons had fought the British forces in the traditional clothes they wear while the police consider those wearing the clothes, terrorists.
Khan claimed that the sit-in protest would not end until the bereaved family is given justice in the case.
