| JI protesting against army operations in Tribal Areas today |
| 2003-11-06 |
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Deputy Secretary General in the North West Frontier Province Zar Noor Afridi said public meetings organized by the Mutahidda Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) would be held in all agency headquarters to protest the Army operation in the South Waziristan Agency. Mr Afridi said the government had no proof that there were any Al Qaeda members in the tribal areas. He also said the Army has not been able to arrest any terrorists in the area.
He said the government must stop this operation to avoid any bad consequences. Mr Afridi said they would launch a movement to counter the Frontier Crime Regulations (FCR). He said the tribal areas could not develop because of the FCR laws. He said the MMA would honour the mandate the tribal people had given it. |
