Pakistani officials had held talks with officials from Afghanistan after the latter refused to hand over the body. Afghan officials wanted the body to be handed over to MNA Mohsin Dawar or tribal representatives.
SP Dawar’s body will be taken to Peshawar via road in a convoy. Roads to Peshawar have been blocked for traffic due to security reasons.
SP Tahir Dawar, who went missing from Islamabad on October 27, was found dead in Nangarhar earlier this week. His martyrdom was confirmed by the Afghan government.
“We summoned the Afghan diplomat to the Foreign Office twice,” Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said during his weekly press briefing in Islamabad today.
“We lodged a protest with Afghanistan over the delay in handing over SP Dawar’s body,” he added. “We have demanded that his body be handed over to Pakistan immediately.”
The FO spokesperson further said, “Pakistan’s ambassador to Afghanistan has also lodged a protest over the delay in the handing over of SP Dawar’s body.”
“The Pakistani counsel general is at the hospital to ensure the body is handed over,” Dr Faisal added.“We summoned the Afghan diplomat to the Foreign Office twice,” Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said during his weekly press briefing in Islamabad today.
