The tribal elders in South Waziristan have reaffirmed their resolve to stand shoulder to shoulder with the security forces until elimination of the menace of terror.
A significant and historic grand jirga of the Mehsud and Burki tribal elders was held in the Spinkai Raghzai area of South Waziristan on Sunday.
The Frontier Corps (FC) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (South) inspector general attended the tribal meeting as the chief guest.
During the jirga, the tribal elders paid rich tribute to the Pakistan Army and the FC for their sacrifices in ensuring lasting peace.
They also reaffirmed their resolve to stand shoulder to shoulder with the security forces until the complete elimination of the menace of Khawarij.
"Khawarij" is a term used to refer to terrorists belonging to outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The chief guest acknowledged the unparalleled sacrifices of the tribal people in the fight against the TTP.
He also highlighted the importance of the elders' role in keeping the younger generation away from the negative propaganda of anti-state elements.
He also appreciated the services of local individuals who have excelled in various fields, describing their dedication, hard work, and positive contributions as role models for the region.
On the occasion, the IG FC assured the Mehsud tribes that work on the Gurbaz to Mangrotai Road project would begin soon.
The tribal elders lauded the efforts of the Pakistan Army and the FC for promoting development projects and advancing girls' education.
