Secretary General, Jamaat-e-Islami, Liaqat Baloch, has said that the attitude of the government and its attempt to run away from its commitments had highly disappointed the people of tribal areas but it would not be allowed to flee from its commitment for the FATA's merger with the KP. He was speaking at a reception hosted at Mansoora for the tribal advisors and elders on Thursday.
Liaqat Baloch called upon the President Mamnoon Husain and PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to resolve the FATA issue on priority basis in order to foil the game being played by the US against this country through India and Afghanistan. Tribal advisors Zar Noor Afridi, Malik Haji Darya Khan, Sardar Khan and Bakhtiar Maafi also spoke on the occasion.
Liaqat said that the FATA people had risen against the black law of FCR and it was better for the government to implement the recommendations of the Sartaj Aziz Committee and provide an opportunity to the tribal people to elect their representatives for the national and the provincial assemblies. He said the FATA's merger with KP was the consensus demand of the tribal people and there was no need for any referendum on the issue.
The JI SG said that the government had failed both on the domestic and the foreign fronts and in order to remove the unrest and mistrust among the people, it was the imperative that the rulers should honour their commitments to the people.
He said there was great unrest and resentment among the tribal people due to the government's failure to implement the Sartaj Aziz committee report. He said that the tribal people had made repeated attempts to be free from the colonial era legacy of FCR but the rulers had so far left them at the mercy of the Political agents despite their promises to abolish the black law. He said that the Quaid-e-Azam had termed the tribal people as the sword arm of the country and history had proved that the tribal people had offered unmatched sacrifices for the country's defence.
