PESHAWAR:
Qaumi Watan Party Chairperson Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said all stakeholders from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa should be invited to the all-parties conference to find solutions for durable peace in the troubled region. A special fund should be released for the affected people in Fata, he added.
Speaking in Charsadda about negotiations with the Taliban, Sherpao said his party fully backs the government in its effort for peace talks. If the government does not act upon the points of the APC, Pakutuns will bleed once again, he said. K-P has been economically paralysed and if peace is not restored Pukhtuns will suffer the most like they have in the past, Sherpao said.
