JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Lawmaker Haji Zahir Qadir on Wednesday asked the government to equip militias brought under a legal framework in the Shinwari district of eastern Nangarhar province.
A 1000-member armed militia, believed to be Qadir’s loyalists, was recently registered with the government to operate under security forces.
Nangarhar officials have previously said registered uprising groups would be equipped with weapons and provided needed facilities in their fight against militants.
Qadir, talking to hundreds of his supporters in Sara Rod district, said the government should equip the uprising members and provide them . . .
