ANP claims ‘resurgence’ of Taliban in South Waziristan
[DAWN] The ’resurgence of Taliban
...Arabic for students...
’ in South Wazoo tribal district echoed in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Assembly here on Monday amid heated debate over the poor law and order situation across the province, including merged districts.

The politicians exchanged barbs over the increasing incidents of extortion, kidnapping for ransom and child abuse, and the issues related to the Fata-KP merger.

The debate generally focused on the law and order situation in the province.

Speaker Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani presided over the session.

"A week ago, I went to South Waziristan and saw gun-toting good Taliban roam around," ANP parliamentary leader Sardar Hussain Babak told the house.

Mr Babak questioned the existence of peace committees (aman committees) in South Waziristan district.

He alleged that members of the peace committees received 30 percent kickbacks in the development work carried out in South Waziristan.

The ANP leader added that the peace committees took Rs2.4 million from every truck carrying goods from Afghanistan.

"The entire world has pressured Pakistain to eliminate proscribed organizations from its soil, while the authorities have taken steps but despite that, the activists of such outfits are delivering speeches and collecting donations in mosques," he said.

Mr Babak wondered why the provincial government was silent about the brutal liquidation of the province’s police officer, SP Tahir Dawar, in Afghanistan, who was kidnapped in Islamabad.

Leader of the opposition Mohammad Akram Khan Durrani said the incidents of kabooms had almost ended in the province but the rate of other crimes was on the rise.

"When a Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
High Court judge is not safe, how the people will be saved," he said while referring to the attack on Justice Ayub Khan on Feb 28 in Hayatabad.
