Mir Ajam Khan, who came in with a dozen of his armed men, in his brief speech there, gave credit to 'good Taliban' for restoring peace in the area in 2007, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Six policemen were killed in Wednesday's attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Lakki Marwat, Pakistan's Daily Times reported. The newspaper said that two terrorists on a motorcycle opened fire on their van. According to police, the assailants attacked the police van on Abbasa Road, Wanda Shahab Khel.
The peace march was organised by Wana Siyasi Ittihad (WSI) in South Waziristan's Wana town, Dawn newspaper reported. The protest march saw the participation of hundreds of people along with the presence of members of the PTI, Jamaat-e-Islami and other political parties.
The recent surge in attacks by the banned outfit, Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Swat District has given rise to the fear that the presence of terrorists and violence is making a comeback after more than a decade.
"What is more worrying is that the civilian leadership and Pakistan's powerful security establishment have so far failed to handle the emerging situation in Swat," the report added.
Since the fall of Kabul, no one had challenged the Taliban. Due to Swat's close proximity to erstwhile tribal agencies and Afghanistan, terrorist threats are always looming on critical infrastructure and government buildings.
