KP speaker urges PM to implement joint declaration of Aman Jirga to fight terrorism

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati has written a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asking for the implementation of the joint declaration from the Aman Jirga 2025 of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly.

In the letter, it is mentioned that a special committee on security was formed with the approval of the provincial assembly.
This committee reached out to the provincial government, the governor, political leaders, elected representatives, the armed forces, and other relevant security agencies.

As part of this consultative process, a peace jirga was held on November 12, 2025, where more than 30 important members from political parties, elected representatives, and other relevant stakeholders took part.

After long discussions, the jirga came up with a joint declaration.
This declaration was also sent to the Prime Minister’s Office for proper consideration.

According to the letter, detailed briefings were given by all relevant departments and institutions to get full information about the security situation.

The purpose of these briefings was not to interfere with the security agencies’ main tasks but to ensure that elected representatives were well-informed about matters that directly impact their areas and the public.

The Speaker said that the committee has prepared a report on the security situation based on these briefings and is in close contact with the relevant parties to finish the report.

The letter says that once the report is ready, it will be shared with the relevant parties as a guiding policy document.
It is hoped that the report will be finalized after meaningful discussion and consultation.

Babar Saleem Swati said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly is ready to fully support efforts to build agreement on how to deal with terrorism.

Once the report is approved, it will be sent to the Prime Minister’s Office to be included in the National Action Plan.

He expressed hope that the Prime Minister’s Office will support all possible efforts to build a lasting agreement for sustainable peace in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
