| Dir family seeks protection from ex-minister |
| 2013-10-08 |
| [Dawn] A local family held a protest demonstration outside Timergara Press Club here the other day against the police for not taking action against former provincial minister Nawabzada Mahmood Zeb for subjecting them to torture over a piece of land. The members of Khalilullah's family, including elders and children, rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the former minister. They also carried banners and placards inscribed with slogans against the police and the former minister. Talking to journalists, Khalilullah and his son Hussainullah alleged that workers of the former minister and local police subjected both of them to torture when they were working on a piece of land. "They tore our clothes, tortured us physically and took away our farming tools," said Mr Khalilullah. |
