Former provincial minister Arshad Umarzai, former Nazim Musa Khan, former tehsil nazim Yahya Khan, Qaisar Jamal of Qaumi Watan Party and other local politicians attended the jirga.
Speaking on the occasion, they said that innocent people were booked in the FIR for attacking and torching the Mandani Police Station.
