| Sacked Khasadars seek reinstatement |
| 2009-10-06 |
| The Khasadar Force personnel whose services were terminated last month -- after they failed to report for duty following a warning from Taliban-linked militant group Lashkar-e-Islam -- have requested the authorities to reinstate them. Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club (PPC), naib subedar Shah Jahan and subedars Muhammad Rehman, Zarmeen Gul and Muhammad Ali Khan said the operation had been going on in Bara tehsil of Khyber Agency for the past one month, during which the services of 604 personnel of the Khasadar Force -- belonging to different clans of the Afridi tribe -- had been terminated. They said most of them belonged to poor families and had no other source of income. |

| #1 I'd rehire, not reinstate them at the bottom most rank, obviously they were'nt trained right, or the training was ignored. Let them EARN rank, then they'll appreciate it. Do it again and bye bye permanently. |
