ISLAMABAD: Relatives of personnel of levies and Khasadar forces, martyred in the war against terrorism, set up a protest camp at the D-Chowk in the federal capital today (Thursday).
Talking to M.M News, Malik Pervez Ahmed, Chairman, Martyrs of Khyber Committee, said that after successfully clearing the region from the terrorism, the children of the martyred soldiers have been left to live a miserable life.
Malik Pervez Ahmed maintained that officials of the Khasadar forces had worked shoulder to shoulder with the army, Frontier Corps (FC), and police to thwart terrorism from the area and had sacrificed their lives for the country.
He lamented that those in power had acted with negligence in ensuring rights for the families of the deceased soldiers. He also regretted that they were not given any alternative jobs or compensation as per the Shuhda Package.
Malik Pervez also complained against the suspension of monthly awards given by the political administration. “If our demands are not met, then the staged protest will continue,” he added.
