Grand tribal Jirga in session at Miranshah
MIRANSHAH: The grand tribal Jirga is in session at the headquarter town here of North Waziristan mainly focusing on to bring the Waziristan peace agreement in place for ushering in lasting peace.
Maulana Nek Zaman MNA and Chief of Waziristan, Malik Naseerullah told Geo News that the members of the grand jirga and the peace coordination committee have arrived at here for the restoration of peace agreement and maintenance of peace. The jirga would finalize the modus operandi for the dialogues between the officials and the local Taliban and, thereafter, formal dialogues would be taking place.
The members of the jirga have had nearly four hours of discussions with the NWFP Governor in Peshawar. The grand Jirga had brokered a written peace agreement among the local Talibans, officials and ulemas, but the local Taliban had announced on Sunday unilateral termination of this peace agreement alleging government violations of some provisions of the agreement, which has triggered volatile situation and unpleasant incidents taking place once again in the whole of North Waziristan.
