 A bearded man exhorting people to recite the Kalama-e-Shahadat caused further panic in the courtroom of Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Tariq Parvez Khan after a car blast just outside the building on Tuesday. “Why are you lawyers and government officials afraid? Do not be afraid and recite Kalama-e-Shahadat now,” the man shouted out in the courtroom.
Others in the courtroom tried to keep their distance from the man, fearing he was a suicide bomber. The man was eventually let out of the court, without being searched or detained. “I was one hundred percent sure that the man was a suicide bomber,” said Advocate Nasrullah, who was in the room. |
