ISLAMABAD: Protesters, demanding justice for Naqeebullah Mehsud, hurled shoe and bottles at Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Amir Fida Paracha and his delegation as he took to the stage to address the protesting members of the Mehsud tribe in the federal capital Monday.

The angry protesters also chanted ‘sham, sham’ slogans and hurled shoe and bottles when PPP leader started praising former president Asif Ali Zardari. The situation forced Paracha and other PPP leaders to leave the stage quickly.

The tribal elders intervened and calmed down the angry youth.
