Mumtaz defends jirga system
KARACHI, Oct 29: Sindh National Front Chairman Sardar Mumtaz Ali Bhutto said in a statement on Friday that it was ineffectiveness of the administration and judiciary that was responsible for the conflicts and tribal clashes in Sindh.
"People do not have trust in these institutions," he observed.
Defending the jirga system in Sindh, he argued that neither administration nor judiciary could be able to resolve Kehar-Junejo, Maher-Jatoi, Solangi-Jagirani and other such conflicts.
Criticizing the role of executives and judiciary in this regard, he observed that people resorted to taking up arms to settle their disputes with rivals only when they lost trust in administration and judicial system.
He claimed that people reposed and kept trust in their respective tribal chiefs because the latter come out with the help these people sought to resolve their disputes with rivals. "If the jirga system is eliminated, Sindh may face fierce bloodshed," he warned. -PPI
