16,000 Mahsuds joined PTI in Waziristan 30April 2012

TANK: Disappointed with the mainstream religious and political parties, the militancy-stricken Mahsud tribes people have started joining the Pakistan Tehik-Insaf (PTI) in the hope that Imran Khan and his team would work sincerely for welfare and development of the under-developed tribal areas after coming into power. The PTI South Waziristan chapter has started membership drive in Tank and Dera Ismail Khan districts where the Mahsud tribal families are residing in large numbers. Many became internally displaced persons (IDPs) in recent years while others had settled there long ago. The party officials said around 16,000 Mahsud tribesmen had so far registered as the PTI members in South Waziristan. Addressing a function here on Sunday, Dost Mohammad Mahsud, a former bureaucrat and president Pakistan of PTI South Waziristan, said Imran Khan and his team would utilise all available resources to bring the tribal areas at par with the rest of the country.
