PESHAWAR, Aug 29: The activists of Pasban and Jamaat-i-Islami organized a demonstration here on Friday to protest against the police for their failure in controlling law and order in Daudzai area on the outskirts of the city.

They assembled in front of the Peshawar Press Club where their leaders Rambail Khan Aamir, Faizur Rehman Durrani and others made speeches.

Amidst slogans against the police, the speakers said the law and order situation was deteriorating day by day but the police were acting as silent spectators.

They said cases of robbery and drug trade were reported to the police, but instead of taking action against the accused the police officials took bribe from outlaws. This, they added, had made Daudzai a safe heaven for criminals.

They demanded that the government should replace inefficient and corrupt officials with honest ones so that incidence of crime could be checked.

The leaders urged the city police chief to arrest the highwaymen who had opened fire on the JI’s deputy Nazim Bismillah Jan when he was passing through Takhatabad Road a few days back in his car.
