During the Jirga, tribal representatives warned that if Malik Naseer is not released within the stipulated timeframe, a larger tribal assembly, including an 80-member committee of the Afridi and other tribal communities, as well as the Pashtun National Jirga, will be held at the iconic Bab-e-Khyber.
