The speakers at the sit-in here in front of Islamabad Press Club were unanimous on the point that the killer of Naqeeb Mehsood, former Malir Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rao Anwar should be apprehended forthwith and must be hanged so that no one ever dares to kill an innocent citizen in such a brutal manner.

The march of the tribal people, who are around four to five thousand, reached Islamabad on foot from Waziristan on Thursday and joined the protest camp set up in front of Islamabad Press Club. The participants vowed that they would not budge an inch from their stated position until acceptance of their demands.
