A FORMER parliamentarian from Khyber Agency, Muhammad Shah Afridi, has recently offered to provide a prototype of a drone to the government within 24 hours.

According to his claim, US Predators could be easily jammed if he is allowed to do so.

If the said claim is correct, may we request Mr Afridi to give a test demonstration by targeting our parliament while it is in session.

If successful, we are sure that his invention would change the destiny of this nation.
