He added that due to closure of business markets in the area it had badly affected their economics system and most tribesmen had become unemployed, saying the main reason of the current situation was the wrong policies of the rulers.
Flanked by Bakhmal Afridi, Ibrahim Afridi and Walid Afridi, he alleged that current rulers were trying to keep the tribal people backward and put their future at stake.

“Are we not Pakistani” he asked and condemned the drone attacks and demanded to bring into practice the unanimously passed resolution against the drone strikes, as he maintained the attacks were against the solidarity and sovereignty of Pakistan.

He said the present government and elected representatives from Federally Administrated Tribal Areas FAT had not thing do for the development of Fata people and if tribesmen were not elected sincere leaders in the upcoming general elections they tribal people would face the similar difficulties.
