Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said on Sunday that the government is considering political reforms in the tribal areas.
| "Yep. Yep. Thinkin' on her pretty hard. We got one of the most primitive areas in the world, right here. Pygmies sit around their campfires in Africa and roll their eyes over how primitive Pakistan's tribal areas are. Head hunters in New Guinea with bones through their noses scare each other with tales of how primitive the NWFP is. So we really should do something, I guess. One of these days." |
Talking to 20-member delegation from Mohmand Agency at People's House, Peshawar, Sherpao said that more funds would be allocated for the development of the tribal areas, a private television news channel reported.
| "Yes! That's it! We'll spend money on them! Lot's of money! We'll all get rich!... Ehrmmm... They'll all... ummm... become prosperous." |
The interior minister said that terrorism had severely damaged the country and terrorists would not be allowed to roam freely. He said that the action being taken against "miscreants was being misinterpreted". |
