| 2015-05-06 |
| [DAWN] President Mamnoon Hussain called on Tuesday for discouraging Jirga system in rural areas and said it could not serve the people of remote areas. Talking to a delegation of Federal Ombudsman's National Committee on Children against the backdrop of failure to launch polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set... vaccination campaigns in some parts of Federally Administered Tribal Areas because of the Jirga's decision not to let their children be administered polio drops, the president said that it was quite astonishing that people preferred to follow Jirga decisions instead of obeying the law of the land. "Acceptance of Jirga's decisions by the people in rural areas is quite deplorable," a president's spokesperson quoted Mr Mamnoon as saying. |
