Speakers at the rally condemned the recent wave of terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, emphasizing that local residents would not tolerate terrorism or allow anyone to take away their rights.
The speakers urged law enforcement agencies to focus on intelligence-based actions against militants. They also asked the government to take notice of broken roads and the lack of basic amenities in the region.
They linked the recent violence to an international conspiracy and warned that Pakhtuns would protest in front of the homes of rulers if terrorism on their soil did not cease.
