Sir: It is shocking that a campaign is being launched on social media to malign the people of the tribal areas and call into question their loyalty to the country. The fact that the tribal people have played and are playing a valuable role in the development and prosperity of the country is known to all. Everyone knows the struggle tribesmen have rendered in difficult times faced by the country. They fought side-by-side with the army against the enemies of Pakistan. Not only that, they have been defending the western border since Partition without demanding anything in return. They equally condemned each and every act of terrorism and yet they are pushed to the wall. We need to stop showing any ill will towards our country’s tribal people. They are Pakistanis and feel proud of calling themselves Pakistanis. Mazharullah Dawar Peshawar
