Former lawmaker and National Democratic Movement (NDM) Chairman Mohsin Dawar remained unhurt after his vehicle came under fire in North Waziristan’s Miranshah on Wednesday, his party said.
In a social media post, the NDM said terrorism had been increasing in Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to the policies of the state regarding the Taliban.
“How will a level playing field be provided to Mohsin Dawar in such a dangerous environment?” it asked, demanding an immediate investigation into the attack. The party added that the local administration was responsible for making security arrangements for candidates contesting in the upcoming general elections.
“We demand the election commissioner to immediately call an emergency meeting regarding the security of candidates in KP,” the NDM said.
The incident comes a day after the bodies of at least six people were found in the North Waziristan district. According to police, the bodies of the barbers, who had been running shops in Mir Ali bazaar for many years, were discovered in agricultural fields after being abducted and executed in the night by unknown assailants.
