PARACHINAR:
After almost 20 years, the special three-day-long prayer ceremony held by Hindus and Sikhs made a comeback in Ibrahimzai village in Kurram Agency, reported media.
On Monday 500 people, including a large number of Sunni and Shia elders, attended the event.
Kurram Agency Assistant Political Agent Shahid Ali Khan was also present at the joint dua’a ceremony on behalf of the government.
The special three-day-long, joint prayer ceremony, an annual event of the region, was suspended during mid-90’s due to growing militancy. A large number of people—Sikh and Hindu—had then migrated to safer parts of the country.
