Lahore, Nov 22/National Turk – According to Pakistani newspaper Express Tribune, residents of Faridkot village, 3 kilometers from Deepalpur Tehsil in Okara District of Pakistan’s Punjab province were infuriated when media persons visited the hamlet yesterday and tried to shoot footage and take pictures of the locality.
“The village have no links with Kasab. He was in fact not a resident of Faridkot,” Ghulam Mustafa Wattoo, former Nazim of the local Union Council told media persons.
Another resident of the village Rai Bashir Ahmed said Kasab was never a resident of the village and they do not know him. “Some elements tried to defame the village’s reputation by spreading false stories when Kasab was arrested”.
The locals established barriers and pickets on the road leading to the village from the main Deepalpur-Hujra Shah Muqeem Road to prevent media men from visit the village and capturing images.
“The media is trying to defame this village,” Wattoo added.
Later, the media persons returned to their respective offices and resumed work.
