PESHAWAR: National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser has said that a special committee will be constituted to resolve the issues of former tribal areas and address the concerns of tribal people.

Addressing a convention of the Insaf Students Federation (ISF) at the Peshawar University, Qaiser said that Prime Minister Imran Khan was personally taking interest in the newly-merged tribal districts, adding that the area would soon be on path to development.

Qaisar remarked that establishing hospitals, educational institutions, strengthening institutions and creating job opportunities in the tribal districts were among the top priorities of the incumbent government.

The speaker declared that the nation would not forget the sacrifices of the tribal people in the war against terrorism and their services would be written in golden words.

He observed that the newly-merged districts of KP would be ushered into a new era of development and prosperity. The economy that was affected by terrorism would get a boost after completion of the CPEC and two million youths would get employment only in Rashaki Economic Zone.

The speaker said that peace between Pakistan and Afghanistan was interlinked and Pakistan sought trade relations with Afghanistan to bring economic change in the region.

Qaiser also stressed upon the youth to work hard and play their role for the progress of the country.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani and other PTI leaders were also present on the occasion.
