PESHAWAR: Former deputy speaker of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Mehmood Jan has asked the government to take notice of the siege of his home by armed men.
Speaking at a press conference along with local elders, he said that his family and the Essakhel clan had a property dispute. However, he calimed that his family had won the cases from lower courts to the Supreme Court. He said that despite failing to prove ownership of the property in the courts, the Essakhel clan had resorted to the use of heavy weaponry against his family.
Mehmood Jan said that his family had also held several jirgas with the Essakhel clan despite the courts’ decisions in his family’s favour. He alleged that even after the jirga awarded the ownership to his family, the Essakhel clan made attempts on his life.
The former deputy speaker said that the Essakhel clan had supported him in the 2013 and 2018 general elections. He said that the problem emerged when Bahria Town announced a project in the area.
