In this connection, a gathering was organised under the auspices of Niaz Bahadar Disabled People Organisation in Jamrud. Member National Assembly Haji Shahjeegul Afridi was chief guest at the occasion in which a number of disabled people, tribal elders and member of civil society participated. Speaking on the occasion, Haji Shahjeegul Afridi said that disabled persons were significant part of society and should not be ignored.
He said that with provision of proper education and other facilities, they could become useful member of society. “Time has come that the black law (FCR) will be eliminated from the tribal belt and every segment of tribal society including the disabled persons will enjoy all their basic rights”, Afridi remarked.
