The Swat women’s jirga has demanded of the government and Taliban to announce ceasefire and initiate dialogue for restoring peace in the country.
The 25-member jirga was held at Saidu Sharif, Swat, and presided over by Khwendo Jirga (sisters council) chairperson Tabasum Adnan.
The jirga showed concern over the present law and order situation in the country, particularly in Swat district.
Ms Tabasum said that operation and use of force were no solution to the prevailing situation in the country, adding that peace could be restored through dialogue.
Appalling to watch these women swaddled in sheets, huddled miserably on the floor, looking to all the world like abused slaves. Is this what their misogynous culture is all about?
