DERA ISMAIL KHAN: The hundreds of years old people tunes of Waziristan adulate its society and the courage of its men. In his uproarious, pleasant voice, 37-year-old Khalid Iqbal – a Christian by confidence – remembers the historical backdrop of the area he calls home, singing tunes in Pashto.
"In the Waziristan vernacular of Pashto," he rapidly revises.
Not just a huge number of Uthmanzai and Dawar tribals left their homes after the military operation Zarb-e-Azb started a month ago, yet numerous minorities' families from North Waziristan Agency have been removed too.
Iqbal's family is presently settled in Pennel Public High School, Bannu, among 20 different minorities' families. Almost 25 more Christian and Hindu families have taken asylum in Janbaz Public School as inside uprooted persons (Idps).
"I wish to be over at home soon. Life was great there; great climate, great companions," says Iqbal. As a hujra artist, he performs on all events, including Eid, Christmas and Diwali.
