The Army will stay in Swat until the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been rehabilitated and reconstruction completed, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on August 10, Daily Times reported. “I am confident your presence in the area will not only discourage anti-state elements from regrouping, but also improve the pace of development in the area,” he told a gathering of soldiers during a visit to Malakand.
