BATKHELA:

The members of Pakistan Peoples Party held a protest rally in Batkhela tehsil in Malakand district on Friday against the federal government’s decision to allow the former president Pervez Musharraf to leave the country.

The demonstration, led by PPP K-P General Secretary Humayun Khan, began from the bus stand to Malakand Press Club where protesters shouted slogans against the former president and present government.

They said the federal government had committed a crime by allowing the “murderer” of religious seminary students and Benazir Bhutto to leave the country safely.

District General Secretary Muhammad Sadiq, Bacha Hussain, Fazal Rabi, Jehan Rom Khan, Muslim Khan, Mehboobur Rehman and Israr were among the demonstrators. The government decided to allow Musharraf to travel abroad for medical treatment on Thursday.
