Malik Jalal Khan Wazir,a member of grand tribal jirga from North Waziristan Agency to which Ayesha Gulalai belongs, has asked her to produce relevant evidence about the allegations she has levelled against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan.

Tribesmen have warned that they will besiege the house of MNA Ayesha Gulalai. "Gulalai neither belonged to Waziristan nor was she a tribal woman, because whatever she had done during last four days was against the norms of tribal people,"the Dawn quoted Wazir, as saying.

"We cannot expect a tribal woman to adopt such lifestyle. The woman is unaware of the South and North Waziristan Agencies because she is not a resident of the tribal region," Wazir claimed.

The tribal elder asked Gulalai to present her Blackberry to any relevant forum to clear her position. He said her allegations against Imran had earned her disrespect in the hearts of people.

He asserted that according to their tribal tradition,daughters are not allowed to show up before media or irrelevant people. But, he said Shamsul Qayyum, the father of Gulalai, used her for the sake of money only.

Jalal Wazir demanded for an inquiry against Qayyum for bringing a bad name to the tribal people for his own personal interests. "The tribal people want to know as to how much money Gulalai has taken for levelling such allegations," he demanded.

Wazir claimed that Gulalai's statement about Imran Khan sending her inappropriate messages on her mobile had not only insulted the Pakhtuns but also disgraced a large number of women workers affiliated with PTI.
