The lashkar formed in the support of government against Taliban have threatened that they would stop fighting if government wont provide them with ammunition and ration.
This lashkar stationed in Adezai outskirts of Peshawar is supporting the government, but the governments inaction of not providing them with the promised ammunition and ration led to this warning. Lashkars are important in weakening the influence of Taliban in different tribal districts.
These volunteer lashkars are still willing to support the government, only if they are provided with ratio and ammunition. Due to the decreased financial activity in the area, it is hard to support the lashkar without external backup. The government must also address this issue and avoid losing an important ally.
