Swat: The protest continues as the people of Swat refused to bury the dead body of the driver killed in an attack on Monday.
The tragic incident of unidentified men gunning down a school van driver on Monday has infuriated the people of Swat. The dead body of the driver remains unburied.
The protesters, as the deceased lay dead in the coffin, protested on the road in the cold of the night. They demand the authorities arrest the accused and bring them before the people.
The people of Swat have denied accepting violence in the land that has been through the darkest of times. Swat, after a horrific reign of fright for years, had regained its long-lost resilience.
Unfortunately, the peace did not last for long. TTP has stepped into the mystical peaks of the valley again. The residents of the district have refused to bow down to terror this time around.
Negotiations with government agencies have failed as the protesters refused to fall into the vague commitments of institutions. The protesters declared that the demonstration would continue until the demands are met. The protesters further claim that they will continue to sit-in for months unless the assassin meets his inevitable fate.
All private institutions in the district remained closed today. The only way to end the protest is to assassinate the murderer, said the protesters.
