| A 15-member ulema peace jirga on Tuesday held talks with the administration at the office of the District Coordination Officer (DCO) to broker a peace agreement between the local Taliban and the administration. The jirga discussed the government demands and its own stand. Mufti Inamullah, a jirga member, said that it was unanimously decided at the meeting that the government demands and the jirga proceedings would not be made public. However, he said the peace jirga would leave for an undisclosed location on Wednesday (today) morning to exchange views with the Taliban over the government demands. Mufti Inam said the jirga would then meet the administration to discuss the Taliban demands with the officials. |
