Pakistani government jirga re-convened with members of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement.


The Jirga from the government side met with the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement in which the government's representatives and tribal leaders also participated.

Jirga members have expressed their concern about the harassment and arrest of members of PTM.

Members of the jirga said that the harassment of PTM members would be shared with military officials.

Mohsin Dawar, a member of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement, said that although government agencies have harassed their movement members still they will consult with the group members to present a member who will represent Pashtuns from all Pakistan to the Jirga.
