Relatives of the victims, including the deceased, Khalil’s brother and the alleged killed terrorist, Zeeshan’s mother, appeared before the parliamentary panel chaired by Senator Abdul Rehman Malik to record their statement.
The committee categorically rejected the joint investigation team (JIT) formed by the incumbent government to probe into the incident.“Why is the government not appointing a judicial commission if it is within its power?”
Zeeshan’s mother informed the committee that her son was not a terrorist. “Why wasn’t Zeeshan apprehended alive? If an Indian terrorist can be arrested alive then why not Zeeshan?”
