A delegation of Mehsud and Wazir tribes met Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday and demanded immediate arrest of and taken to justice to those responsible for the extra-judicial killing of Naqeebullah, a native of South Waziristan.
The PM assured them that all resources would be utilized to arrest Rao Anwar and fulfil the requirements of justice.

The historical importance of this march traces back to the great proponent of non-violence, Bacha Khan, whose philosophy was based on the non-violent ideology.
