ISLAMABAD: The Awami National Party and the Pakistan People’s Party has called for investigation into an alleged military operation in the North Waziristan tribal region.

Speaking in the Senate, ANP leader Afrasiab Khattak said that innocent people including women and children were being killed in Miran Shah and Mir Ali, adding that as to why those ‘fond of dharna’ were silent over the killings.

He called on President Mamnoon Hussain to use his constitutional powers to improve situation in the tribal areas. PPP stalwart Raza Rabbani also demanded of the president to play his constitutional role in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
