On this occasion, Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Amir Muqam was also present on the occasion.

Earlier on Thursday, PM Shehbaz has announced the restoration of the educational quota for the merged districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in medical colleges and engineering universities.

According to details surfaced on Thursday, the announcement came during a meeting with a delegation of tribal elders at the Prime Minister’s House. The delegation, led by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) President Maulana Fazlur Rehman, held a jirga with the prime minister to discuss public order and development in the merged districts. In response to longstanding concerns, PM Shehbaz confirmed that the federal government would reinstate the quota system to ensure access to professional education for students from these areas.

The delegation welcomed the decision and expressed satisfaction over the government's commitment to the region's development.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister stated, “I am pleased to host the tribal elders today at the Prime Minister’s House. You belong to regions that embody a proud historical legacy and rich traditions.” He praised the tribal communities for their enduring sacrifices for the peace and security of Pakistan.
