| 2008-08-09 |
| A survey report, issued on Friday, revealed that a dominant majority of roughly four million inhabitants of the tribal areas favour girls' education and do not support attacks on CD and music shops. The inhabitants are also equally opposed to presence of the Pakistan army in FATA. Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) conducted the survey using quantitative methodology. Residents of all seven agencies of FATA - Khyber, Mohmand, Kurram, Orakzai, Bajaur, North and South Wazirsitan -- have been questioned during the survey. Asked 'Do militants have a right to use guns and arms?', 94 percent respondents replied 'No'. |
