PARACHINAR:
Frontier Corps IG Maj Gen Ghuyur Mehmood has said that foreign consulates near the Pak-Afghan border were creating problems for the country. He said this while addressing a peace jirga in Parachinar on Tuesday. The FC IG said that steps were being taken to establish peace in Fata including the Kurram Agency. “If we stand together for peace, we can easily defeat them and foil their plans,” he said while assuring the people that all their problems will be addressed and every effort will be made to rehabilitate those who had been displaced. Meanwhile, the political agent of the Kurram Agency, Riaz Mehmood, said that if tribal elders continued their support for restoring peace in the area, they will soon find a solution to the existing problems.
