Meanwhile, President of the Tehrik Naujawanan-i-Islam, Fata, has urged the government to scrap the Frontier Crime Regulation and enforce the Political Parties Act in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

Addressing a press conference, he also called upon the government and various groups to resolve all issues through talks.

“The tribal people are patriotic Pakistanis who have always rendered sacrifices for the integrity of the motherland, but in return they were getting deaths and destruction from the rulers.”

He said the government was yet to liberate the tribal people from the cruel FCR of the British era and give them the basic rights enjoyed by the people in other parts of the country.

He called upon the government to take the tribal people into confidence and resolve major issues through talks.In another development, militants blew up a tower of the Telenor cellphone company in the town. According to a political administration official, the assailants barged into the control room of the company at about 3am, overpowered the two watchmen on duty and placed some explosives which they later detonated.

The explosion destroyed the control room, causing suspension of the cellphone service in the area. Another tower of the same company in the locality had been blown up a few months ago.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
