The same route is being used by NATO forces supply line from Peshawar which is attacked by LeI continuously. There are more than 200 hundred Christian families living in Landi Kotal town only which is head quarter of political agent of government of Pakistan to keep writ of state in Khyber agency.

Landi Kotal and Tirah have started paying “Jizia” or protection tax from June 1, 2009, and those who are unable to pay are ordered to leave Khyber Agency by June 15, 2009. The threats by militants of Laskhar-e-Islam LeI to non-Muslims have stirred unrest among minorities in Pakistan. The Christians and Sikhs living in Khyber Agency from century are not treated as permanent residents of area and have to seek special permission from Tribal Elders Jirga to built any new home in area. The minority ministry of Pakistan is failed to resolve issue of residency or domicile certificate with Pakistan government to enable non-Muslim in FATA to enjoy rights as tribal inhabitants.
