PESHAWAR
\nQaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Saturday asked the government to compensate the people of the merged districts who suffered losses during the war on terror.
\nHe was talking to a delegation of tribal elders from South Waziristan at Watan Kor here. The members of the delegation informed the QWP leader about the problems being faced by the people of Waziristan.
\nThe delegation said the government had conducted a survey to assess the damage to the houses so that compensation could be paid to the affected people.
\nThey said after the survey, the government had issued tokens to the people who were supposed to receive the compensation.
\nHowever, the elders said the government had not yet issued the promised money to the people. They also demanded increase in the compensation amount and to include the left out houses in the survey.
\nThe delegation also extended invitation to the QWP leader to a consultative meeting in Islamabad.
\nAssuring the delegation of his support, Aftab Sherpao said the tribal people offered matchless sacrifices for the restoration of peace, therefore, the government should properly compensate them for the losses.
\nHe also endorsed the demand to increase the compensation amount and to include the houses in the survey which were earlier missed.
\nThe QWP leader demanded the government to fulfill the lawful demands of the tribal people or else discontent would grow among them.
\nHe said the QWP had always supported the genuine demands of the tribal people and would spare no effort to help them get their due rights.
\nHe said the restoration of peace was made possible due to the unprecedented sacrifices rendered by the tribal people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
