Earlier, his funeral prayer was held at Colonel Sher Khan Army Stadium.
Bashir Bilour was killed among eight other people in a suicide blast in Peshawar when he was returning after attending a party meeting at the house of a local ANP leader. He was shifted to the Lady Ready Hospital for treatment but he succumbed to his wounds after struggling for life for almost one hour.
Presidential spokesman Farhattullah Babar and a large number of political leaders belonging to various parties, including the PPP, PML-N, PML-Q, MQM, among others, were present in his funeral procession.
Thousands of ANP party workers and city residents also attended procession of the ANP leader.
The suicide bomber had detonated the explosives strapped to his body at a close distance from Bilour. He received severe wounds on chest and stomach and was brought to hospital in unconscious condition.
Doctors tried their best to save him but their efforts went in vain as the party leader, who repeatedly termed the fight against terrorism as ‘our own battle’, succumbed to his wounds at 7:40 pm.
