Pakistani Shia Clerics rejected deal with any Taliban group


A grand loya jirga of Shia clerics in which Turi & Bangash tribes held on Monday in headquarter of Kurram Agency in which more than five hundred tribal elders of two main tribes and six sub tribes particpated.In this loya jirga Shia tribal leaders rejected any possible deal or agrrement with any taliban group including haqani network for using the land of Turi & Bangash for terrorism.

Shia Tribal clerics in their speeches cleared that they are Anti Taliban and there Sponsors USA. They further told that this is the plan of USA and Occupied Forces that when they want to enter or occupy the land or locaility first they enter thier extremists agents like Al-Qaeda and Taliban, the best example is Iraq, Afghanistan and Waziristan where occupation and drone attacks are  continued. But further added that they will never allow this international game of so called War on Terror. The best proof is American investigative journalist wayine madcine recent report .

Turi Bangash tribal elders also denounced puppets of establishment in the name of tribal elders who particpated in talks with Haqani Network at Peshawar and Islamabad. They further added that these puppet agents have no crediibilty in the area even in thier families.

Meanwhile Grand loya Jirga of Shia Turi & Bangash tribes also criticized the civil and military bureaucracy for giving them treatment as of a step child and doing nothing to lift the siege and economic blockade on Turi and Bangash tribes in Parachinar and surronding upper Kurram.

They also mentioned that in negotiations in Peshawar and Islamabad Haqani Network on the instructions of military establishment offered that the closed thall Parachinar road will be opened With a  gaurantee that from the day of agreement no Shia will be hurt or   murdered. Which clearly shows that since 2007 upto now more than 1200 Shia were martyred, more than 5000 injured and more than 200 kidnaped; while  six Shia are still missing from Charkhel Lower Kurram govt convey attack. These figures clearly shows that all these crimes for the last  four years , which includes the continous siege of the area was done on the behest of the  military estibleshement. These figures are more than the attrocities of Indian occupied forces in Kashmir ,therefore instead of shedding crocodile tears on state terrorisim in Kashmir, all concern should focus on state terrorisim in Pakistani Gaza:  Parachinar. These speakers added that to pressurize the locals for accepting the Islamabad  agrreement the Pak-Afghan border was completly sealed to stop even the limited supply of food stuff and life saving medicines.The tribal elders blamed the government and especially the establishment that they wants to do genocide of Turis and Bangshs.

In the endof loya jirga passed some resolutions  which says that :

  • Shia Turi Bangash tribes will survive on even  grass (due to imposed and continous cripiling siege) but will never allow Taliban on thier land,
  • Loya Jirga also criticised the role of civil society and human rights groups who even  highlight the non issues for thier vasted intrestes and does  not highlights  the real issues and humantiran catastrophe Such as  Pakistani Gaza  : The Parrachinar,
  • Loya jirga demanded the Government and security forces to stop the state terrorisim by ending the inhuman siege of Patriotic Turi and Bangash tribes who have sacrificed there lives  in 1947, 1948, 1965, 1971 Kargil and post 9/11 the figures of casuilities of Turi and Bangash tribes serving in secuurity forces is highest than all other tribals of FATA, but yet they receive step child’s  treatment and state terrorism which is unbearable, Government should take urgent steps to end the siege of the Thall – Parachinar Road if they consider Parachinar as Part of Pakistan.
