LANDI KOTAL Aug. 28 (TNS): Tribesmen from Khyber Agency on Monday rallied from Landi Kotal to Torkham border to protest against the new policy recently announced by US president Donald Trump.
A large number of people from different parts of Khyber Agency gathered at Hamza Baba ground in Landi Kotal before heading towards Torkham border, where they staged the protest.
A number of pedestrians holding Pakistan flags, including members of the Sikh community, also made their way towards the border, along with scores of vehicles.
On Sunday, a jirga of tribal elders decided to hold a protest demonstration against the US president’s statement.
Meanwhile, the Bab-i-Pakistan gate on the Pak-Afghan Border at Torkhum has been shut closed for all type of movement.
The security sources said that the border closure came about as a preemptive step in light of the rally.
