PESHAWAR: A tribal gathering convened by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Saturday decided that a jirga will be formed to hold talks with the federal government and other stakeholders on drone attacks in the province. In the past few days, CM Afridi has condemned “persistent drone attacks” in KP, even hinting at introducing legislation to criminalise collateral damage in such incidents. On Saturday, a “loya (grand) jirga” was held at CM House, where tribal elders had been invited to decide the future course of action.

The consent order bars them from future violations of provisions governing securities fraud.
