In a significant move towards restoring peace and eliminating extremist threats in Bajaur, a high-level Peace Jirga in Bajaur was convened. The gathering aimed to devise an effective strategy against militant elements disrupting the region’s stability.
The jirga was attended by a large number of respected tribal elders, community leaders, senior military officials, and civil authorities. Among the key participants was Inspector General Frontier Corps (North), Major General Rao Imran Sartaj, whose presence underscored the gravity of the situation and the commitment of state institutions.
The proceedings began with a solemn prayer (Fatiha) for the martyrs of Bajaur. Attendees also offered a special supplication for national security, unity, and long-term peace across Pakistan.
Participants unanimously declared their firm resolve to deny sanctuary to militants of any banned organizations in their respective areas. This commitment was seen as a pivotal turning point in the fight against terrorism in the tribal belt.
Security officials provided a detailed briefing on the ongoing operations in the region. Tribal elders were taken into full confidence, reinforcing transparency and mutual trust between local communities and the state.
During the session, hard evidence of extremist activities was presented. These included disturbing video footage showing militants using mosques as hideouts — a violation that deeply alarmed the attendees.
In light of these revelations, the jirga reached a decisive consensus: the region must be cleansed of all terrorist elements. The leaders agreed that if members of outlawed groups refuse to vacate voluntarily, a robust and targeted military operation would be launched to eliminate them.
The jirga concluded with a powerful display of unity. Tribal elders pledged full support to state institutions and committed to playing an active role in restoring and preserving lasting peace in the region.
The gathering ended with a collective prayer for Pakistan’s security, solidarity, and continued stability.
