| A peace jirga of tehsil Adenzai in the Lower Dir district on Thursday vowed to crush the elements propagating Talibanisation and spreading hatred in the name of religion in the district. "We have the guts and power to quash such elements from our district", a unanimous resolution passed by the elders said. The jirga formed a peace committee consisting of two members of each political party, which would work along with the law enforcing agencies. The police would also consult the committee before launching any operation. The resolution also put a ban on aerial firing in the district, and requested media personnel not to sensationalise events and avoid publication of news that created panic among the people. |
