Protests erupted against Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Pak Army for brutal killing of Pashtun police officer, Tahir Dawar. Pashtuns in Pakistan chanted slogans against the Pakistan Army and ISI for brutally killing Dawar.
A large number of people came out on the streets at various cities and towns, including capital Peshawar, to condemn kidnapping and subsequent murder of Tahir Dawar.
Tahir was gone missing in Islamabad about two weeks ago and his dead body was found in Afghanistan at the international border. Taliban denied any role in the killing.
Pashtuns believe that ISI kidnapped Tahir and killed him because he eliminated Taliban operatives during operations against terrorism and was sympathetic to the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) demands for return of thousands of missing Pashtuns.
Superintendent Tahir Dawar was head of Peshawar Police’s rural area circle. He survived two suicide attacks by terrorists.
PTM chief Manzoor Pansteen met the brother of the slain police officer in Peshawar and expended full support to the grieved family to raise voice against the brutal murder.
