The Tragic Loss of Maulana Khan Zeb: A Call for Justice
This week, our nation suffered a heartbreaking loss with the assassination of Maulana Khan Zeb, a senior leader of the Awami National Party (ANP) and former National Assembly candidate from Bajaur. The brutal act occurred at Shindai Mor, just a stone’s throw from the Khar Tehsil headquarters in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. It’s a shocking reminder of the dangers faced by political figures in our country.
In this senseless attack, Maulana Khan Zeb was killed alongside his police security officer, Sepahi Sher Zada. Three others, identified as Dr. Tariq, Shahsawar, and Osman, were injured and are currently receiving medical care. Maulana Khan Zeb was actively campaigning for an upcoming peace march set for July 13 in Bajaur, aiming to promote harmony in the community. Tragically, the campaign was cut short by the gunmen who opened fire, displaying utter disregard for human life.
Following the attack, ANP workers and local community members gathered to honor Maulana Khan Zeb. They took to the streets, carrying his coffin towards Khar Bazaar to protest the violence and demand accountability. His funeral is scheduled for Friday, July 11, at 11 AM in Nawagai, his hometown, where many will come together to remember his contributions to the community.
In the wake of this tragedy, authorities have launched an investigation, emphasizing the need for justice in light of rising violence against political leaders. It’s vital that we stay informed and engaged in discussions about political safety and community well-being.
