JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Thousands of people on Sunday staged a protest rally in eastern Nangarhar province against recent rocket shelling from across the border in Pakistan.
As many as 4,000 residents of the Lalpura district took part in the demonstration. The protestors, who blocked the Jalalabad-Torkham highway for few hours, chanted ‘death to Pakistan’ and torched a flag of the neighboring country.
Local officials claim Pakistani forces have been firing rockets into the Lalpura district over the past four days, forcing more than 2,000 families . . .
