Imran, opposition demand judicial inquiry as KP govt announces commission on Bannu violence

Incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan and a six-party opposition alliance on Saturday called for a judicial inquiry into the outbreak of violence at a peace rally in Bannu a day earlier even as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government announced the formation of a commission for a “transparent” investigation.

At least one person was killed and 22 others were injured when gunfire caused a stampede at a march in Bannu city on Friday. The gathering was attended by thousands who were demanding security in the district.
