Family members of a prominent Pakistani Sikh politician who was gunned down in April on Sunday staged a protest demanding that the promises made by the provincial government to the victim’s kin be fulfilled.
Sardar Sooran Singh, 52, Special Assistant to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister on Minority Affairs and leader of Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was gunned down in April by contract killers hired by his miffed Hindu rival after he failed to secure a ticket for elections.
The family of Singh held a demonstration outside Peshawar Press Club against the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for not honoring its promises made to the family of the slain advisor to the chief minister of the province.
The protest was led by All Pakistan Hindu Welfare Organisation, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chapter and Sevak Sanskar Society.
