Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa expressed grief over the passing of slain Naqeebullah Mehsud’s father, said Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor on Monday.

According to the DG ISPR, the army chief said: “May Allah bless the departed soul eternal peace at Heaven, Amen. Efforts to ensure provision of justice as promised to him shall be pursued.”
