Praising the Kurram Peace Jirga members, Kundi acknowledged the political leadership for coming together despite differing ideologies.
He pointed out that, for the sake of peace and stability in the province, political parties must unite, regardless of differences.
“We must work together for the peace of Kurram, Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Bannu, Lakki Marwat, and the entire province, including merged districts.
We need to conduct an All-Party Conference on the security and rights of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and I will invite the Chief Minister to participate,̶1; he said.
Highlighting the important role of religious leaders in promoting peace, Kundi called on them to advocate for peace and prevent displacement in the Province. He reminded the jirga that political differences should be put aside for the greater good of peace.
“Negotiation is the solution to our problems. There are good and bad elements in every sphere of life, but we must work to strengthen the rule of law,̶1; he said.
The Governor also stressed the need to address the grievances of the youth in the province and reiterated that any external forces in the area likely received support from local elements.
“We must protect our youth and remove their doubts. The sacrifice of our security forces, media, and the children of the Army Public School must not be forgotten,̶1; he added.
Kundi announced that their demands would be presented to the government and assured that the political leadership would meet with the President, Prime Minister, and Chief of Army Staff to address the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
