Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: An all-parties conference (APC) in Parachinar has urged the government to immediately start an operation in Kurram Agency against the Taliban, and alleged the local administration in Lower Kurram is supporting the Taliban, reported a private TV channel on Sunday.
Addressing the APC, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Hamid Hussain, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Mehmood Jan, Awami National Party (ANP) leader Arif Khan and others said the situation in the agency was "deteriorating", with more than 700 people killed in clashes over the last 28 months.
They claimed the political administration was not taking action against the Taliban. The speakers told the APC that Taliban fleeing Swat, Orakzai Agency, North Waziristan and South Waziristan were entering Kurram Agency. They said that local and foreign Taliban were creating a law and order situation in the agency.
