A peace rally was held in response to the recent terror attacks on Pakistan Army installations in Lakki Marwat city on Saturday.
Organized by the Olasi Pasoon Tehreek, the rally aimed to protest lawlessness and militancy on the Pakhtun’s land. Many people from diverse backgrounds, including Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement leader Manzoor Pashteen and ANP’s provincial vice-president Shahi Khan Sherani, attended the rally.
Banners and black and white flags were raised, and slogans were chanted against lawlessness and in support of peace and harmony.
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.
There were multiple attacks, suspected to be terror incidents, reported from different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) on Thursday night.
In Lakki Marwat city, a powerful explosion occurred near the Government Postgraduate College which houses security forces and a military camp.
After the first explosion, several other blasts and heavy gunfire followed, partially damaging houses in the settled area, said locals.
