Son refuses to bury slain Mufti Shakir to protest 'non-provision' of security
Pakistan
He said his father requested for security in the wake of life threats from terrorists
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Slain Mufti Muneer Shakir’s son has refused to bury his father in protest against not providing him with security despite repeated requests, Dunya News reported here on Saturday.
The son of slain Mufti Muneer Shakir has refused to bury his father in protest against not providing him with security despite repeated requests to the KP government and police officers concerned.
In a statement, Abdullah Shakir said his father had filed applications with SHO, CCPO and DCP concerned for providing him with security, but he was neither given security or issued a weapon licence.
“Why my father was not given security. I ask KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur and police officers why they did not make security arrangements for the protection of my father despite he was getting life threats from terrorists.
“I would not let the burial of my father unless the KP CM and police give me satisfactory answer to my questions with regard to the provision of security to my father,” the son of murdered Mufti Muneer Shakir said.
In a bomb blast in the vicinity of Urmur Police Station on Saturday, Mufti Muneer Shakir succumbed to the fatal injuries he received.
Three other people were also injured in the incident who have been shifted to the local hospital. The police said the incident happened a few minutes before Iftar.
After the blast, rescue teams, police officers and CTD officials reached the spot and ordered the preliminary investigation.
