Kohat Commissioner Kahlid Khan Umerzai has asked the detained former MNA, Shah Abdul Aziz, through a jirga to stop campaign against the foreign and national oil companies and submit sureties in this regard for his early release.




He was talking to a 20-member jirga led by MPA Malik Qasim Khan which called on at him at his office.



The participants of the jirga appealed to the commissioner to order release of former MNA. The meeting also discussed the role of the former MNA in many other controversial issues like that of Jamia Hafsa, the murder a foreign geologist by Taliban in which he was on bail and recently hurling threats to the foreign companies working in his home district.



The MNA was arrested few days ago near Bannu under 18 MPO for disturbing peace and creating law and order situation in Karak district where he had been threatening the Hungarian MOL and national OGDCL companies to give rights to local people otherwise he would launch an armed protest movement against them.



Later, two persons were assigned the task to meet Mr Aziz in jail and know about his response to the conditional release offered by the Kohat commissioner.
