    Jirga to kill anyone reporting honour killing cases to police


    By Zahid Jan

    DIR: Anyone reporting an honour killing case to the police or filing a case with the court will be killed by the jirga (tribal court) since the publicising of such cases has brought a bad name to the area, Malik Faiz Muhammad, a member of the Nihag-Wari jirga in Upper Dir, said on Friday.

    The Nihag-Dara Wari jirga had issued a controversial verdict in favour of honour killing around 15 days ago, declaring it a permissible act.

    A Wari police station official said that over 150 people had attended the jirga, but Malik Faiz told Daily Times that the jirga consisted of more than 4,000 people representing the entire area.

    “We stick to our verdict that honour killing is permissible and those who commit it will not be liable to any punishment. We will also not allow the aggrieved party to report the case to the police or file the case before a court. We will kill those who will violate the jirga verdict,” he said.

    Malik Faiz said that the jirga would investigate such cases and punish those found guilty on its own. He said that the jirga members were ready to sacrifice their lives to uphold their verdict.

    Certain union council nazims also attended the jirga called by the Painda Khel tribe and endorsed the decision of the jirga.

    The jirga also declared that no action would be taken against anyone killing a robber. Jirga participants said that they would defend any oppressed person taking shelter in the area, but pledged action against those sheltering aggressors.

    The federal government had asked the provincial government to investigate the jirga’s verdict on honour killing.

    Sajid Mohmand, Upper Dir senior superintendent of police (SSP), said that the government would not accept the jirga’s “illegal” verdict on honour killings, adding that all such cases would be registered and those found guilty would be punished according to the due process of law.

    These peole are real barbaric.

    I feel sorry for Musharraf that such prize imbiciles are the citizens of Paksitan.

    It is really time that these elements are shown their place so that Pakistan can apply itself to better things than being hounded by such total freaks of nature.

    Yet these so called democrats within our country want us to negociate with people of this mindset. You see the moment the poor of our nation start to see justice and rights, the jirga produce new threats.

    In a way it's a good thing, it shows that where in the past the police where a part of the problem today they are a solution, and people have the confidence to use the law, that is why the grip of the tribals is being threatened, that is why they must make bogey men of the government and try to fight proxy wars to isolate thier people from the rest of Pakistan to extend thier brutal grip on local power.

    The problem is that actually very small section of the Pakistani society is ready for the change.

    The large majority live in the hinterland where the whiff of modern amenities are minimal. Therefore, their mindset remains untouched and they are not ready to change for any new untested ideas, when in their opinion, the old system has faced the test of time.

    Rapid development and modern educational system is the need of the hour.

    Not to appear bigoted or otherwise, a Christian school education, will expose them to other ways of life which they need not embrace, but it will open up their mind to existence other than their own.

    It might help as it has helped, I believe, Musharraf.
