Government lambasted for not adopting Fata reforms bill

13 Dec, 2017

Tribesmen belonging to Khyber Agency have criticized the incumbent PML-N-led government for not tabling Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) reforms bill in the national assembly. Addressing a press conference in Landi Kotal on Tuesday, Qari Said Alam Shinwari, Nisar Afridi, Wakeel, Permeen Shinwari and others said that to please what they called, corrupt Maulana Fazal Rehman and Mehmood Khan Achekzai, the sitting government of the PML-N for the second time postponed the presentation of Fata reforms bill in the parliament which is tantamount to depriving tribesmen of their basic political and human rights.
"We want to be ruled by the law being functional in other parts of the country and are willing to be merged with the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to remove sense of deprivation among our co-tribal people," they remarked.
